morgon has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

I have a little openwrt-box with lighthttpd that can do fastcgi.

Unfortunately the way perl is packaged on openwrt is a bit strange (eg. when you only install the perl-package you won't get the strict-module) and I would like to confine myself to the perl-modules that are packaged for openwrt if possible and neither FCGI nor CGI::Fast are.

So my question is:

Is it possible to write a fast-cgi application in perl when all you have is the CGI.pm? What would you need to adapt from a pure cgi-script?

Many thanks!
