Re: Perl Win32 Apache & mod

Do not use mod_fcgid with perl on MS Windows as it simply does not work.

I recommend using mod_fastcgi instead - you can get binaries (built for Apache 2.2.x by me) from http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/mod_fastcgi/

As for the shebang line you'd better use the full path to your perl.exe, just replace backslashes for slashes e.g.

#!c:/usr/bin/perl.exe

Do not use mod_fcgid with perl on MS Windows as it simply does not work. OK - why odes it not work ? what is broken ? currently mod_fcgid is the official way to use fastcgi on apache and mod_fastcgi is old ... anyway thanks for the link, I will check it - I had many problems with mod_fastcgi	[reply]

The article linked doesn't explain why For running Catalyst application as FastCGI on Apache/Win32 you have to choose mod_fastcgi (the author of this article did not manage after many tries to run catalyst app via mod_fcgid). If you're quoting someone, use `<blockquote> the quote </blockquote> your response` [download] or `<i> the quote </i> <p>your response` [download] `<dl<dt> the quote </dt> <dd> your response </dd></dl>` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The reason for not using mod_fcgid is simple - Something is broken in the way mod_fcgid "talks" with perl on Win32. If perl on Win32 was popular someone would have fixed it, probably no one needs it...	[reply]
