ISAPI Perl
PrimerBy Gunther Birznieks
ISAPI Perl and CGI/PerlISAPI 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.
