From the tone of the thread, it looks as if things are moving towards FastCGI. I am also looking at a solution with Tcl/Velocigen, and the guys there write that:
>>>>> Freely available interfaces do exist that use the FastCGI standard. These other solutions require you to dedicate a single process for each script executed and encourage the creation of fewer and larger, more complex scripts, rather than many smaller, easy to manage scripts.
Also, these other FastCGI Perl implementations require you to know the details of the FastCGI protocol, and force you to manage memory and system resources.
>>>>>
Do these factors apply when FastCGI is used with Zope - or is Zope smart enough to handle memory and system resource management for the developer?
Sorry if these are ignorant questions - this is a new field for me!
There are no igorant questions :) FastCGI integration with Zope, like the other transport implementations, will be totally transaparent to the developer - the only time you will have to think about it is when you install it.
