=head1 NAME
CGI::Fast - CGI Interface for Fast CGI
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use CGI::Fast qw(:standard);
$COUNTER = 0;
while (new CGI::Fast) {
print header;
print start_html("Fast CGI Rocks");
print
h1("Fast CGI Rocks"),
"Invocation number ",b($COUNTER++),
" PID ",b($$),".",
hr;
print end_html;
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
CGI::Fast is a subclass of the CGI object created by CGI.pm. It is
specialized to work well FCGI module, which greatly speeds up CGI
scripts by turning them into persistently running server processes.
Scripts that perform time-consuming initialization processes, such as
loading large modules or opening persistent database connections, will
see large performance improvements.
=head1 OTHER PIECES OF THE PUZZLE
In order to use CGI::Fast you'll need the FCGI module. See
http://www.cpan.org/ for details.
=head1 WRITING FASTCGI PERL SCRIPTS
FastCGI scripts are persistent: one or more copies of the script
are started up when the server initializes, and stay around until
the server exits or they die a natural death. After performing
whatever one-time initialization it needs, the script enters a
loop waiting for incoming connections, processing the request, and
waiting some more.
A typical FastCGI script will look like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI::Fast;
&do_some_initialization();
while ($q = new CGI::Fast) {
&process_request($q);
}
Each time there's a new request, CGI::Fast returns a
CGI object to your loop. The rest of the time your script
waits in the call to new(). When the server requests that
your script be terminated, new() will return undef. You can
of course exit earlier if you choose. A new version of the
script will be respawned to take its place (this may be
necessary in order to avoid Perl memory leaks in long-running
scripts).
CGI.pm's default CGI object mode also works. Just modify the loop
this way:
while (new CGI::Fast) {
&process_request;
}
Calls to header(), start_form(), etc. will all operate on the
current request.
=head1 INSTALLING FASTCGI SCRIPTS
See the FastCGI developer's kit documentation for full details. On
the Apache server, the following line must be added to srm.conf:
AddType application/x-httpd-fcgi .fcgi
FastCGI scripts must end in the extension .fcgi. For each script you
install, you must add something like the following to srm.conf:
FastCgiServer /usr/etc/httpd/fcgi-bin/file_upload.fcgi -processes 2
This instructs Apache to launch two copies of file_upload.fcgi at
startup time.
=head1 USING FASTCGI SCRIPTS AS CGI SCRIPTS
Any script that works correctly as a FastCGI script will also work
correctly when installed as a vanilla CGI script. However it will
not see any performance benefit.
=head1 EXTERNAL FASTCGI SERVER INVOCATION
FastCGI supports a TCP/IP transport mechanism which allows FastCGI scripts to run
external to the webserver, perhaps on a remote machine. To configure the
webserver to connect to an external FastCGI server, you would add the following
to your srm.conf:
FastCgiExternalServer /usr/etc/httpd/fcgi-bin/file_upload.fcgi -host sputnik:8888
Two environment variables affect how the C<CGI::Fast> object is created,
allowing C<CGI::Fast> to be used as an external FastCGI server. (See C<FCGI>
documentation for C<FCGI::OpenSocket> for more information.)
=over
=item FCGI_SOCKET_PATH
The address (TCP/IP) or path (UNIX Domain) of the socket the external FastCGI
script to which bind an listen for incoming connections from the web server.
=item FCGI_LISTEN_QUEUE
Maximum length of the queue of pending connections.
=back
For example:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl # must be a FastCGI version of perl!
use CGI::Fast;
&do_some_initialization();
$ENV{FCGI_SOCKET_PATH} = "sputnik:8888";
$ENV{FCGI_LISTEN_QUEUE} = 100;
while ($q = new CGI::Fast) {
&process_request($q);
}
=head1 CAVEATS
I haven't tested this very much.
