FastCGI is about as old as mod_perl, but it works and you can use it today on the majority of ISPs.

Which would you recommend, FastCGI or mod_perl?

    Funny you should ask. I'm giving a talk about that at YAPC::NA and OSCON this summer. Both work well, and the reasons to choose one over the other can be subtle. I've had great experiences using mod_perl on large sites, but if you need super-cheap hosting or don't want to admin your own server, you should look at FastCGI.
