[cgiapp] mod_perl vs. FastCGI

Someone earlier mentioned that FastCGI adds a good layer between
apache and the application.

The main issues I have with mod_perl is that even with Apache2::Reload
I still get errors and have to restart the server while I am
developing.  I think the issue has something to do with the way that
Autorunmode is implemented.


I also like the idea that with FastCGI we can switch back to IIS.  I
am trying to convince my boss that Apache is a good option, but it
would be nice to be able to switch back to IIS if there are issues.

Anyway, I worry that I will keep having issues like this as I develop,
and restarting the server every time I make a change (while in
development of course) is just silly.  Does anyone know how hard it is
to set up FastCGI with CGI::Application and
CGI::Application::Dispatch?
