Er, no - your fcgi process manager loads the app and calls fork() for

Sorry, you're right - we're using a very limited process manager and it
doesn't fork. We use some nasty nonthreadsafe legacy C code.
Since on Windows both types of fork are emulated in Perl, whether in
mod_perl or in the FCGI process manager, I guess the performance is
almost equivalent. (Is this true? -- anybody benchmarked the two??)
That just leaves the pain of setting up mod_perl. I used to do that, but
I never really enjoyed it.

If you use ActivePerl under Windows, mod_perl can be installed from the
TheoryX ppm repository and it doesn't require too much configuration.
Using fastcgi under Windows is harder, and I don't even know if it can run
as an ExternalServer.
