The perl-FCGI package provides a Perl module for writing FastCGI applications. FastCGI is a more efficient alternative to traditional CGI, as it keeps application processes persistent across multiple requests. This module allows Perl web applications to handle requests faster and with lower resource overhead, making it suitable for high-traffic environments.
Security Fix(es):
