Here's my experiences with integrating Perl 5.003 with FastCGI on a
Solaris box.  The problem I faced is best summarized by the following
diagram:

               (a) 5.002  --------->> (b) 5.003

                    |                      |
                    |                      |
                    |                      |
                    |                      |
                    V                      V

          (c) 5.002 + FCGI -------->> (d) 5.003 + FCGI

I had points (a), (b) and (c), and was trying to generate (d).  There
were three files I was concerned with:

(1) proto.h: as going from (a) to (c) is easy (just add three lines each
at the top and bottom), I did this to (b) to get (d).

(2) Configure: I simply copied (b) to (d) unchanged, as the differences
between (a) and (c) didn't seem significant.

(3) perl.c: the difference between (a) and (c) is a one-line bug-fix:
>       e_fp = Nullfp;
Going from (a) to (b) also does this bug-fix (among lots of other
changes).  So I simply copied (b) to (d).

Then I built Perl + FCGI in my usual manner (run Configure while
ignoring FCGI, then insert the FCGI stuff by manually editing config.sh
at the shell prompt).  Voila, it worked!  Here's the resultant
configuration:
