Yes, this may be OT for misc, feel free to move this to ports. I very much appreciate any guidance on this. I also hope this topic helps others who are now having to make a move away from mod_perl/Apache2. I also have some software to use that has FastCGI/Starman as it's ideal installation method. And thank you Espie for suggestion Dancer as a good manual reading. It is. I'm going to go ahead and send this over to ports, where it belongs. Apache2/mod_perl are truly dead except for some die-hards. Thanks, Chris Bennett
