If you run them via slowcgi, the interpreter+script will be started from scratch each time. To have a persistent Perl process, convert your script to talk FastCGI directly (see ports/www/fcgi) or via PSGI and a fastcgi adapter, or use some framework that supports it (in Perl-land you might want to look at frameworks like Mojolicious, Dancer etc). > I want to setup a 5.6 machine and test all these cool stuff but for the moment > I don't have access to such machine and I would like to see what other poeple > experienced with this httpd(8) daemon . httpd was *very* new in 5.6, you want something newer (-current, or keep your eye out for patches). If you want to play with fcgi before updating, nginx and lighttpd support it natively, and apache via a module - it isn't something new, it has been around for years, it's pretty much the only standard way to handle cgi-like scripting in a non-forking webserver. Config methods differ, but scripts should be portable between all the various http servers.
