Has anyone else used FCGI recently? (I heard it was a bit shabby in

worth putting up with the pain?

I haven't used it in a while, but back when I tried it you had no access to Apache's API. IOW, it was just content generation but none of the other cool stuff (auth/authz, logging, etc). Other things I'd put in favour of modperl are the Apache::* namespace on CPAN and the mailing list.
