Topic: Problem with mod_fcgid & Perl scripts

I've been having similar issues with mod_fcgid under windows.
Initially I had issues getting a c++ app to spawn via apache, but that was solved by passing in the windir initialenv.

I am still having problems trying to get the example perl script to execute.

Script is:
#!d:/perl/bin/perl.exe
use CGI::Fast;

while (my $q = CGI::Fast->new) {
print("Content-Type: text/plain\n\n");
foreach $var (sort(keys(%ENV))) {
$val = $ENV{$var};
$val =~ s|\n|\\n|g;
$val =~ s|"|\\"|g;
print "${var}=\"${val}\"\n";
}
}

The error in the Apache log is:
[Mon Aug 04 10:09:29.434314 2014] [fcgid:info] [pid 328:tid 472] mod_fcgid: server test.lan:d:/perl/bin/perl.exe(4380) started
[Mon Aug 04 10:09:35.043674 2014] [fcgid:info] [pid 328:tid 472] mod_fcgid: process d:/perl/bin/perl.exe(4380) exit(communication error), return code 9

I am running the 64bit version of Apache2.4.9 and mod_fcgid 2.3.9 downloaded from ApacheLounge on a Windows 2012 R2 Server

apache conf is
Alias /simple/ d:/dev/fcgitest/simple_fastcgi.pl
<Location /simple/>
Options ExecCGI
Require all granted
SetHandler fcgid-script
</Location>

Any ideas or suggestions welcome

Known and as yet unsolved problem with Perl on Windows. It's better to use mod_fastcgi instead.

The reason I started testing with mod_fcgid us that mod_fastcgi is not available off their website any longer.
Is it possible for ApacheLounge to also prebuild those modules?
