For Apache possibly. The mod_perl "clone" for IIS (ActiveState's PerlEx) =

is virtually unsupported and has (had?) low-level bugs; because it is =

closed source there is almost nothing you do can about them.

We were therefore effectively forced into using FastCGI, which has =

certainly proven portable, scalable, and with acceptable performance =

even under IIS. (IIS, need I say it, was not our choice). IIS FastCGI =

support is now pretty good because of the Zend/Microsoft collaboration, =

although PHP is the principal beneficiary.

Don't get me wrong - I was a big fan of Apache and mod_perl on Windows, =

I was compiling it for mission-critical applications in 2001 - =

applications which were still in use and running stable on the same =

server 8 years later!!!

All the best
