| 10 | This is a Fast CGI module for perl. It's based on the FCGI module |
| 11 | that comes with Open Market's FastCGI Developer's Kit, but does |
| 12 | not require you to recompile perl. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | It even no longer requires perl to be compiled with sfio. |
| 15 | The sfio version has had more testing though. |
| 16 | To compile with sfio you'll need at least perl 5.003_02 and you'll have |
| 17 | to have configured it with eg './Configure -Duseperlio -Dusesfio'. |
| 18 | (See the INSTALL file that comes with the perl distribution.) |
| 19 | To compile without sfio you'll need an even more recent perl version. |
| 20 | (perl 5.004 and up should be fine.) |
| 21 | |
| 22 | See http://fastcgi.idle.com/ for more information about fastcgi. |
| 23 | Lincoln D. Stein's perl CGI module also contains some information |
| 24 | about fastcgi programming. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | See echo.fpl for an example on how to use this module. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | To install, do the usual |
| 29 | |
| 30 | perl Makefile.PL |
| 31 | make |
| 32 | make install |
| 33 | |
| 34 | If Makefile.PL finds an already installed (exported) fcgi library |
| 35 | it will use that instead of the included files. Edit Makefile.PL |
| 36 | if you don't want that or if it doesn't find them. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | To configure the library Makefile.PL will run ./configure . |
| 39 | You may want to run it yourself beforehand because its findings |
| 40 | may not always be correct. |

41 | The configure.readme file describes how to run ./configure (and only that). |

42 | |
| 43 | If you're on a solaris system and your installed fcgi library is 2.02b |
| 44 | or earlier, you'll probably want to use the included files. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | The FCGI module installs die and warn handlers that merely print |
| 47 | the error/warning to STDERR (the default handlers print directly |
| 48 | to stderr, which isn't redirected in the non sfio case). I'm not |
| 49 | very happy with the result. Suggestions welcome. |
