In addition to supporting other webservers, FastCGI's other advantages
over mod_perl include:
* easy to run your app as non-webserver-user (good for shared hosting,
I think)
* not tied to/restricted by apache worker (some modules have problems
with mpm-worker, since it is threaded)
* 0-downtime restarts possible with unix sockets
* easier to debug some problems since you aren't tied into the
webserver's guts

Also, Strawberry Perl should be able to install everything using
CPAN.pm out of the box.

hdp.
