Like I said, for $4.95 a month, the host isn't going to install or configure software for you.	[reply]

Not for "you", for everyone. Like they already do with mod_php. The argument being made: If the host won't install mod_fcgi, why would they install mod_perlite? So why create mod_perlite? If the host has installed mod_fcgi, what advantage would mod_perlite provide? So why create mod_perlite?	[reply]

I'm a hypothetical user. My hypothetical $4.95 host won't install anything besides what's there, which is apache, php, and a perl interpreter. I have ftp access only. Can your project do the job?	[reply]

Every hosting provider has to decide what to provide for their customers on their servers, and the 3 main deciding factors are: Do a lot of customers want it? Will it be safe for us to provide? Will it add any admin and/or support hassles? AFAIK, not a lot of shared hosting setups provide mod_fcgi. If mod_perlite answers those three questions better than mod_fcgi, then it will be worth it for them to provide it.	[reply]
