[cgiapp] use persisten instance of cgiapp with cgi::fast?

[Dietrich Streifert]

  Hello All,

I'm currently using speedy_cgi as a persistent perl process and wanted 
to test if fcgi would be an option for me.

I've installed and configured mod_fcgid with apache2 on linux and tested 
the base functions and the fcgi interface successfully.

Then I read the article in

     
http://cgi-app.org/index.cgi?FastChttp://cgi-app.org/index.cgi?FastCGIGI

And managed to run my cgiapp with this method.

As the method implies a new instance of my cgiapp is created for every 
request. With speedy_cgi I used to only create a cgiapp instance once 
and reuse it on request. I consider my cgiapp to be a big one and it 
would benefit a lot from being instantiated once and  the instance 
reused often.

So I did the following additions/modifications to the example mentioned 
in the article:

use CGI::Fast;

my $app = MyCGIApplication->new();
while (my $q = CGI::Fast->new()){
    $app->query($q);
    $app->run();
}

This basicly worked but as soon as multiple requests to the script are 
initiated or request answers exceed some magic size the clients get 
incomplete answers ie. the page code stops unexpected somewhere between 
head and end.

So my questions are:

What is wrong with my modifications?
Do I have to flush some buffers in order to ensure complete delivery to 
the client?
Are there any other possibilities to achieve a persisten reference to my 
cgiapp that does not get initializied at every request? (besides 
mod_perl or speedy_cgi).

Any help would be great.

Best regards...
