FastCGI & Perl together on IIS6, is it possible

Hi, I’m trying to speed up the perl apps on my VPS (my stats program and a blog install that uses perl)… and i’ve installed the Microsoft FastCGI extension: FastCGI for IIS : The Official Microsoft IIS Site and this perl module: http://search.cpan.org/~cosmicnet/FCGI-IIS/lib/FCGI/IIS.pm

I’ve found instructions for getting it to work with Perl (ActivePerl in my case):
IIS configuration tips - CosmicScripts.com

i followed all the directions to a T. In -MFCGI::IIS=test mode, the test script works great, but as soon as i change it to ‘do’ mode or ‘eval’ mode i just get a blank page. what is going wrong? has anyone else gotten this work?

these are the instruction

thanks!

I have always done just php in fastcgi, not perl, so no firsthand experience, I will see if I can find anything on this matter.

I haven’t gotten it to work but not had time to spend more than 10 min on it, every moment I even try to rest something happens!

I only got it working in IIS7.5 with Server 2008 R2 in Hyper-V like this:
Developer technologies - Microsoft Q&A

I didn’t get it going properly (errors) in 2003, and virtuozzo I’ve pretty much given up on to be honest.
