I am reviewing technical possibilities for calling COBOL programs via CGI to read mainframe flat-file data. I would probably compile the COBOL to executables and then pass parameters.

My main questions are:

1. Has anyone else done something like this?

2. I've heard of performance issues associated with CGI and the usage of FastCGI to alleviate this. However, CGI (and FastCGI) seem so 1999 -- although, if it works, it works. I'm just wondering if there's a better way to do this now, with better security and less performance overhead.

Thanks,

Josh
