Andre_br has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello my code friends

Iīve finally made FCGI (and also CGI::Fast) work at my shared account. But just canīt figure out how to handle it, I mean, how do I restart the processes when I update the script code? How do I know the number of the process??

My main goal with FCGI is to save precious CPU minutes, as the traffic is increasing a lot (and my host will kick me out if I get too heavy-processing, as they just dont have dedicated servers available). You guys know if the CPU savings are worth adapting the code? I mean, can I expect to use, like, 30% less CPU?

Also, Iīve heard there is 'static' and other kinds of configs, and Iīm not sure of what they are, and how to change and fine tune them, in order I donīt end up increasing my CPU usage(!!!).

I wait for your help then!

Thanks a lot

Andre

PS: by the way, my host doesnīt support mod_perl.
