rijuroyson has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

I have a webpage application that is developed in catalyst framework. This application is used to generate different reports from database. We were using mod_perl with apache for this application. Now we want to migrate from mod_perl to fastcgid. While doing the same, am stuck with an issue.

The application uses $c->uri_for call to get the absolute http path. It was working fine with mod_perl environment. But in fastcgid, the same call is not returning any value.

Did anyone faced such an issue ? Any pointers for this issue will be very helpful for me.

Thanks,
Riju

    The first thing that you want to do is to check if you're running under FCGI or CGI. A simple way to check: 
    #!/usr/bin/perl 

use strict;
use warnings;
use FCGI;

my %env;
my $req = FCGI::Request( \*STDIN, \*STDOUT, \*STDERR, \%env );
if( $req->IsFastCGI ) {
    print "This is FastCGI\n\n";
}
else {
    print "This is CGI\n\n";
}
print_env( "Request Environment", \%env );
$req->Flush();
sleep 3;
print_env( "Initial Environment", \%ENV );
$req->Finish();

sub print_env { 
    my($label, $envp) = @_; 
    print("$label:<br>\n<pre>\n"); 
    my @keys = sort keys(%$envp); 
    foreach my $key (@keys) { 
        print("$key=$$envp{$key}\n"); 
    } 
    print("</pre><p>\n"); 
}
