not require you to recompile perl.
It even no longer requires perl to be compiled with sfio.
-The sfio version has had more testing though.
To compile with sfio you'll need at least perl 5.003_02 and you'll have
to have configured it with eg './Configure -Duseperlio -Dusesfio'.
(See the INSTALL file that comes with the perl distribution.)
To compile without sfio you'll need an even more recent perl version.
(perl 5.004 and up should be fine.)

about fastcgi programming.

-If Makefile.PL finds an already installed (exported) fcgi library
-it will use that instead of the included files. Edit Makefile.PL
-if you don't want that or if it doesn't find them.
+If you want to use the (experimental) pure perl version, that
+doesn't require a compiler and currently only works on Unix,
+you have to pass the --pure-perl option as in
+"perl Makefile.PL --pure-perl".
+
+Note that the pure version does not support Window's Named Pipes.
+Support for Named Pipes is not a requirement of the FastCGI specification.
+Named Pipes are used by mod_fastcgi and the FastCGI application library as a
+replacement for Unix sockets. mod_fastcgi uses Named Pipes on Windows (Unix
+sockets on Unix) by default (see the mod_fastcgi docs for more information).
+
+If you want the module to use a previously installed fcgi library
+instead of the included files, use the --use-installed option,
+optionally followed by the name of the directory in which it can
+be found.
To configure the library Makefile.PL will run ./configure .
You may want to run it yourself beforehand because its findings
