Shane, Debugging FastCGI applications can be a lot simpler than regular CGI applications. One trick is to use the "External" mode of FastCGI, as in FastCGIExternalServer. That way, the server program is started separately from the web server, so you can start it in a shell using perl -d. That way, you can still test the request coming in via the web server - but gain the convenience of using a debugger that you are familiar with, without involving special execution modes etc. HTH, Sam. ___________________________________ fastcgi-developers mailing list http://fastcgi.com/fastcgi-developers/
