We have converted a plain cgi app under CGI::App (no dispatch) to run

I had
was some "mixed" apps where I was creating 2 distinct DBI database
handles. Once I got it down to 1, everything worked well.
Primary gain is start up time from stuff like DBIx::Class (but
CGI::App
and even perl are kinda heavy weight).
We still have to restart apache to debug it, although "in
principle" you
don't.
I recommend the "in principle" part. I run all my fastcgi apps using
the
ExternalServer option, which I found well documented at the fastcgi
site. That lets me stop/start the app independently of apache, which
is
nice for rolling out new versions, etc.
Thanks Peter, I will check it out. Restarting apache takes about 1
second for us (obviously, we do this on a development machine/
development web server)
