NAME

       Net::FastCGI - FastCGI Toolkit

DESCRIPTION

       This distribution aims to provide a complete API for working with the FastCGI protocol.

       The primary goal is to provide a function oriented and object oriented API which are not tied to a
       specific I/O model or framework.

       Secondary goal is to provide higher level tools/API which can be used for debugging and interoperability
       testing.

PROGRESS

       The function oriented API is considered feature complete. Net::FastCGI::Protocol provides functions to
       build and parse all FastCGI v1.0 messages, also provided is a few convenient higher level functions such
       as "build_begin_request()", "build_end_request()", "parse_record()" and "dump_record()".

       Work has begun on object oriented implementation and a simple blocking I/O class which is intended for
       testing and debugging.
