in thread Perl Win32 Apache & mod_fcgid not working

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

    <blockquote> the quote </blockquote> your response
    or
    <i> the quote </i> <p>your response

      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...
