<shudder> Thank ye gods I'm out of the Windows Perl dev I was doing last
year.

One of the big wins for me with FastCGI for developers (as opposed to
production) is avoiding user/permission problems. The kind of suexec
fail-with-no-warnings pain you don't need day to day. Set Apache to point to
your socket then as a non-priv user you can do what you will from your own
area.
