[Speedycgi-users] SpeedyCGI and Perl 5.8.4

[Chung-Kie T. <tu...@tu...>]

Hi Sam,

The perl 5.8.4 has done some stirct checking in executing a script which is 
not compatible speedycgi.

1. it insists that the interpreter name after #! should contain the 
string 'perl', or it returns error "Not a perl script". 

So user have to rename the frontend to something like 'speedy_perl' 
or 'speedy_suidperl' instead of speedy
(The name pperl is better than speedycgi from this poing of view :)

2. it insists that the argument passed to perl interpreter should be the 
same as those listed in the #! line, or it returns error "Args must match #! 
line...". 

So user has to remove arguments for speedy from #!line to make script work.
I was wondering if there is any work around for this?
Or could we have a configuration file for speedycgi to store the argrments?

/usr/local/etc/speedy.conf
-----------------------------------------------
<default>
default arguments for speedy for all speedy scripts
</default>

<path_of_script_a>
default arguments for script a
</path_of_script_a>
------------------------------------------------

Regards.
