[cgiapp] Running a plain CGI::Application as FastCGI / PSGI

[Ben Hitz]

I don't think CGI::Application::FastCGI works.  It's relatively  
trivial to convert your controller script to Fast CGI.

It's basically this:
use CGI::Fast();

use MyCGI::Application::Class;


while(my $q = CGI::Fast->new) {
     my $app = MyCGI::Application::Class->new(QUERY => $q)
						       );
     $app->run;
}

Add any other parameters (template path, etc) to the constructor as  
usual.

You have to be a little careful with how you handle your database  
connections.
