I have installed apache 2.2.15 with mod_fcgid on Windows XP SP3 and Activestate Perl (tried both 5.12 & 5.8.9) tried the perl example script in the mod_fcgid reference page but it is not working, however it does run as simple cgi I get this in error log

I double check everything including: The #!/usr/bin/perl.exe line The mod_fcgid is loaded (Yes it is on c:\usr\bin\perl.exe in may case...) When running the script as plain cgi it works When I turned to the older mod_fastcgi it works just fine as a fastcgi (i.e. loads once runs many times). Using process monitor I can see that apache starts Perl but it Perl exits almost instantly without even loading the Perl script I tried it also on Apache 2.0.52 & 2.0.63 with older mod_fcgid and with Apache 2.2.15 with the newest mod_fcgid (2.3.6) but no luck What can be done ? I googled around but no one seems to have solution or managed using mod_fcgid with perl on Win32 I opened a bug on both FCGI at cpan and on apache tracker but no one seems to care... Is there a solution for this ? Does someone else need this ? (mod_fcgid with Perl on Apache/Win32) This is the code I am trying: 
#!/usr/bin/perl.exe
use FCGI;

my $count = 0;
my $request = FCGI::Request();

while($request->Accept() >= 0) {
   print("Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n", ++$count);
}
