Looks like the FastCGI binaries are only available for Windows versions. We'll be on Sun Solaris, but I can probably recompile the source, if that doesn't cause the open-source police to come get me. I still think we're miscommunicating, though. We weren't even using Apache::Registry; the CGI speed improvement of mod_perl is only of incidental interest to us. The API hooks were what we were using. FastCGI (as I understand it, e.g., from http://www.fastcgi.com/devkit/doc/fastcgi-whitepaper/fastcgi.htm ) doesn't offer any API, though the iPlanet version at http://www.caraveo.com/fastcgi/ seems to be implemented with NSAPI in such a way that it *sort* of does anyway. It's theoretically *better* for the niche it was written to fill, but that's functional specialization, where mod_perl is more versatile. The main thing is just that mod_perl/mysql was just such a sweet solution -- I really hate to see it go. Anyway, I've beaten this thread enough. Thanks again, and I'll try to stop spamming the list now. =o) Paul __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
