[Speedycgi-users] SpeedyCGI for non-CGI programs

[Sam H. <sa...@da...>]

Speedy has always supported non-CGI persistent perl programs as sort
of secondary development goal.  It's never been at the forefront until
recently.  But, for example, the exit-status code that's coming in 2.20
was written purely for non-CGI programs - only non-CGI programs would
care about that feature.

I don't think I've communicated the non-CGI capabilites of SpeedyCGI
very well.  For example, Matt Sargeant released a program called "pperl"
because he couldn't get speedy to compile on his box, and wasn't sure if
it did non-CGI in the first place.  If pperl works for people, that's
great, but I'm guessing that people would like to know that SpeedyCGI
is also an option in case pperl can't do everything they want.

I'm planning to change the documentation to make it a little more clear
that Speedy works with non-CGI programs.  Also, I think it might be a good
idea to petition the CPAN maintainers for a second name for SpeedyCGI -
SpeedyPerl seems logical.  Any opinions?
