-If you've built Perl according to the recipe and you have a Web server set
-up to run FastCGI applications, load the FastCGI Developer's Kit Index Page
-in that server and run this Perl application now.- -The script invokes Perl indirectly via the symbolic link -examples/perl. It does this because HP-UX has a limit of 32 -characters for the first line of a command-interpreter file such as -examples/tiny-perl-fcgi. If you run on HP-UX you won't want -to sprinkle symbolic links to perl everywhere, so you should -choose a PERL_PREFIX shorter than /usr/local/perl5-fcgi.
- -You need to be aware of the following bug. If the -initial environment to a FastCGI Perl application is empty (contains -no name-value pairs) then when the first call to FCGI::accept -returns, the environment will still be empty, -i.e. %ENV will contain no associations. All the variables -associated with the first request are lost. There are two known -workarounds:
- -
-
- -The Perl subroutine FCGI::accept treats the initial -environment differently than the C function FCGI_Accept. The -first call to the -C function FCGI_Accept replaces the initial environment with -the environment of the first request. The first call to the Perl subroutine -FCGI::accept adds the variable bindings of the first request -to the bindings present in the initial environment. So when the first -call to FCGI::accept returns, bindings from the initial -environment are still there (unless, due to naming conflicts, some of -them have been overwritten by the first request). The next call to -FCGI::accept removes the bindings made on the previous call -before adding a new set for the request just accepted, again preserving -the initial environment.
- -The Perl FCGI module also includes -subroutines FCGI::finish, FCGI::set_exit_status, -and FCGI::start_filter_data that correspond to -C functions in fcgi_stdio.h; see the manpages for -full information.
- -Converting a Perl CGI application to FastCGI is not fundamentally -different from converting a C CGI application. You separate -the portion of the application that performs one-time -initialization from the portion that performs per-request -processing. You put the per-request processing into a loop -controlled by FCGI::accept.
