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

Dear Brethren:

Since our CGI apps run on our clients' servers, we distribute them as EXEs compiled using ActiveState's PerlApp. This protects our source code.

Does anyone know if FastCGI can handle these EXEs under Windows/IIS, or is it limited to uncompiled scripts?

Are there any other solutions for Win/IIS I should be looking at to speed up CGIs?

Many thanks for any ideas/advice!

Stephen
