in reply to Getting pure CGI application to run under FastCGI on IIS

Have you googled for "IIs server fastcgi configuration Perl" ? From my testing of FastCGI on linux/apache, you need to setup FastCGI in your server configuration file....things like what directory they run in, how many spares to have ready, whether to reuse or not, etc.

It's more involved than just putting "use FastCGI;" at the top of your script.

Here is the way it is done with the Apache server ... FastCGI Apache configuration" I'm sure there is something similar for IIS.

If you do get it accomplished, it would be nice of you to write a little setup-tutorial for it, to save others time.

    Getting the most basic FastCGI setup to work on IIS was not that difficult. How to get the basic configuration to work is described here. It is going from this basic setup to running our application under FastCGI that seems to be quite tricky.
