Comparing Stunnix Advanced Web Server and Stunnix Perl Web Server
These two products are both perfectly suited for desktop applications
and for running directly on read-only media like CD, DVD and USB FlashDrive.
They share the same file layout, same configuration file for wrapper scripts,
both run Perl XCGI scripts
User-triggerred stopping of the server works in a similar way on both products.
Advantages of SPWS over SAWS are
- Applicable when running Perl scripts ONLY:
SPWS works on all platforms where the Perl interpreter is installed or for
which it's included on CDROM. This
means you can create a product in Perl, use SPWS for GUI and the product will work
on every Unix-like operating system (Solaris, HP-UX, xBSD, SGI).
Additionally, this web server is tiny.
Advantages of SAWS over SPWS are
- It takes less time to port to SAWS than to SPWS.
- A Site that uses SAWS works much faster than a site running SPWS.
- Many pre-existing Apache loadable modules can be used with SAWS.
- SAWS is much more flexible and offers much more features than SPWS, including
support for Python and Java (Tomcat).

So in most cases the use of SAWS is much more applicable
over the use of SPWS.
