in reply to setting lighttpd/fcgi/perl ?

So I was wondering which module should I use FCGI.pm or CGI::Fast
I'd go with CGI::Fast (which uses FCGI), since that gives you a request object as plain CGI does: 
use CGI::Fast;
while( my $q = new CGI::Fast ) {
    print $q->header,
          $q->start_html,
          "123",
          $q->end_html;
}

If your concern is speed, you might want to use CGI::Minimal and FCGI and do the request object initialization according to CGI::Fast.

--shmem 

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}
