I'm using Strawberry Perl for Windows and in principle everthing
works fine. I can run a basic application without problems. However,
I need a way to have several asyncronous processes. Under Linux that
is no problem at all, I can use --fork with HTTP::Engine, or I can
use HTTP::Engine::Prefork, or I use fastcgi together with some
webserver like lighttpd.
However, none of the above options works under Windows. If I use --
fork with HTTP::Engine or HTTP::Engine::Prefork the strawberry Perl
executable crashes completely without any useful error message.
I tried to run it as fastcgi but the FCGI::ProcManager which is
needed does not work under Windows either. I also tried to find a
lighttpd config to run my app as a "static-mode" fastcgi which works
nicely under Linux but gives only obscure error messages in Windows.
Has anybody run a catalyst application under Windows with fork
functionality or can give advice on a fastcgi configuration with
lighttpd or any other lightweight server?
Can't do it, fork == threads on Win32 which == death for a lot of
modules. I don't have any advice on using lighttpd or FCGI under
Windows, but apparently it is possible to run FCGI under IIS.
