About:
SpeedyCGI (aka PersistentPerl) is a way to run Perl scripts persistently, which usually makes them run much more quickly. Converting scripts to use SpeedyCGI is in most cases as simple has changing the interpreter line at the top of the script. After the script is initially run, instead of exiting, SpeedyCGI keeps the Perl interpreter running in memory. During subsequent runs, this interpreter is used to handle new requests, instead of starting a new Perl interpreter for each execution.

[»] mod_perl

SpeedyCGI runs outside the web-server, not inside, so it can't harm the web-server. It also works on any webserver that supports CGI - not just apache. It's a little more compatible with CGI than mod_perl (you get real stdio files for example). Also, speedycgi can be installed by anyone - it doesn't require administrator access to the webserver.

yes. the point is that, believe it or not, not everyone is running apache.
