Re: How best to get my mod_perl programs to run under CGI for non-mod_perl users?

 Hi Chris,

One approach would be to modify your applications so they use some kind of
abstraction layer, like Plack, that runs on top of both CGI and mod_perl.
 There's more on Plack here: http://plackperl.org/

Another option, since you used Registry, would be to change your use of
Apache::Request to something like CGI.pm which works on both.  You may not
need to change much else.
