I was looking at options to install and configure on the Windows 2003 web
server I'm setting up for shared hosting and realized that like PHP, Perl
can be supported as a CGI or by an ISAPI DLL.

Is there any reason to use the CGI flavor, or is ISAPI the way to go? For
instance, does some code only work in CGI or would most Perl scripts have to
be modified to run with the ISAPI set up?
