That's one of the reasons why I prefer FastCGI over mod_perl.
Additional reasons:
- FastCGI works with other servers, not just Apache.
- A broken application can't crash the entire webserver, "only" its FastCGI process.
- Applications can run under different user accounts.
- Applications can be managed by daemontools.
- FastCGI applications can be debugged as simple, single-shot CGIs
