It's very mature and has been used on many large websites.  I currently
work at a very large investment firm which uses it on many internal
websites.

Depends on what your code looks like.  The biggest problem you have to
deal with is how your global variables get initialized.  The fewer you
have, the easier it is.  If you're using perl with CGI.pm it can be as
easy as this:

# cgi way:
use CGI;
my $cgi = new CGI;
...

# fastcgi way
use CGI::Fast;

while (my $cgi = new CGI::Fast) {
   ...
}

If you're using perl, there's a sample in the CGI::Fast documentation at:
