Enlightening how do you feel about fastcgi vs psgi?

This question makes no sense. How do you feel about HTML vs. HTTP?

PSGI is an interface for Perl code. FastCGI is an interface for network
communications. They aren't in the same problem space, except to the degree

Xenoterracide: Enlightening how do you feel about fastcgi vs psgi?

Follow ups

Bill Moseley: Just so it's not one-sided, I moved from FastCGI to mod_perl some years back. Start up and restart time was one issue, IIRC, but mod_perl was trivial to configure and solved stability issues we were seeing. I never went back, so maybe it's better now.

Adam Mackler: Oops, I see did not explain that point clearly. By error messages, I was refering to error messages that visitors to my website see, not the kind that I see in my log. With mod_perl, if your script has an error, for example if your database server goes away, you'll either get the default "Internal Server Error" message, or (hopefully) a customized error message that looks like it's part of your website. Same using fastcgi. But with mod_perl, when you're restarting your application, you're
