Good point and my reasons are not clear now :) mainly because when I =

originally tried this I had conflicts between the URI served by apache =

and the one served by catalyst. Having tried this tonight I see where I =

was going wrong and I can easily set this up. So, I will try it this way =

for a few days to see how it goes. Thanks.

The other reason was that I eventually was hoping to serve several =

clients from the same machine, running multiple copies of the same =

application (but perhaps different versions) and knew I could not do =

this with Apache mod-perl but could do so with fast-cgi, hence my reason =

for going down that path.

I suppose however that from this experience it would not be a good idea =

to try and serve several fast-cgi Catalyst applications from the same =

server?

Thanks, I will give that a try as well even if the server performance =

improves.
