  # on the command line

DESCRIPTION

This module handles multiple FCGI::Engine instances for you, it can start, stop and provide basic status info. It is configurable using Config::Any, but only really the YAML format has been tested.

This module is still in it's early stages, many things may change.

Use with Catalyst

Since FCGI::Engine is pretty much compatible with Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI, this module can also be used to manage your Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI based apps as well as your FCGI::Engine based apps.

EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION

Here is an example configuration in YAML, it should be noted that the options for each server are basically the constructor params to FCGI::Engine::Manager::Server and are passed verbatim to it. This means that if you subclass FCGI::Engine::Manager::Server and set the server_class: option appropriately, it should pass any new options you added to your subclass automatically.
