I have two issues with "at" thou...
I just noticed CGI::Simple while looking something up for the CGI.pm module. Should I be using CGI::Simple instead? What will it offer me over CGI.pm, which I've used for eight years? I see that CGI::Simple doesn't do HTML generation; what should I be using for that? And will it integrate with CGI::Simple by allowing me to make form ...
I am writing a Bulk Mail scheduler controlled from a Perl/CGI Application and would like to learn abut "good" ways to fork a CGI program to run a separate task? Should one do it at all? Or is it better to suffer the overhead of running a separate job-queue engine like Gearman or TheSchwartz as has been suggested recently. Does the answer...
I like the simplicity of CGI with Apache, but would like to be able to just leave my code running between CGI requests. mod_perl keeps coming up in this context, except that I'm not writing in Perl. I'm aware of FastCGI, but am looking for something much simpler - something that doesn't involve networking or libraries in the CGI progra...

There is a cgi code written in C++. Currently there is no session management done in the web pages. There is a need to provide sessions in the web pages so that the user can login, maintain session and then logoff.

I own a legacy python application written as CGI. Until now this works OK, but the number of concurrent users will increment largely in the very near future.
