mod_perl vs. FastCGI

[Scott Thomason <ST...@hii.com>]

I know this must have been discussed before, but a mailing list archive search on "fastcgi" didn't turn up much. What guidelines do you folks follow to determine whether FastCGI or Apache::Registry is a better choice?

TIA,

I've 90% written a little paper on this, with feedback from people on
the list. I can do you a rough, or you can badger me to put it
properly on my web site...

Most people on this list probably have already determined that
mod_perl is better for their own needs.  That's why I'm here, at
least.

But "better" is a very subjective term, and you need to define your
parameters.  What are your goals, what are your constraints, what is
your experience, etc., are all questions you need to answer before you
can decide whether one technology is more suitable for you to use on a
given project than any other technology.
