ISAPI Perl and CGI/Perl

ISAPI Perl is a version of Perl for ISAPI-compliant Microsoft Windows-based Web servers. Essentially, ISAPI Perl builds on CGI/Perl. In the early days of Web servers, Common Gateway Interface (CGI) allowed Perl programs to interact with a user's browser through the Web server.

However, CGI/Perl applications have one primary disadvantage: speed. Every time a CGI/Perl-based application is launched by the Web server, a new process is started, and the Perl script must be compiled by the Perl interpreter.
