FastCGI works fine, but these claims are not true. I benchmarked several FastCGI environments and none of them were significantly faster than mod_perl. They are also not lighter. The only thing "heavy" in mod_perl is Perl, and that will be there in FastCGI, PSGI, etc. > mod_fcgid provides also authenticate/authorize/access controls, besides > dynamical content. True, but my experience is that the documentation for these is pretty weak compared to the mod_perl equivalent. They don't seem to be used by many people. The ones for mod_perl are widely used and have many modules on CPAN for common needs. However, the trend is to move these functions away from server APIs and put them in the application framework, so it may be a moot point. - Perrin
