I am getting this error in error_log one of my Perl CGI application. I am pretty sure I haven't changed my script at all and all of a sudden i have started getting this error.

This is what I see in error_log:

[Wed Jul  8 15:18:20 2009] [warn] FastCGI: server "/local/web/test/cgi-bin/test.pl" (pid 17033)
    terminated by calling exit with status '255'
[Wed Jul  8 15:18:20 2009] [warn] FastCGI: server "/local/web/test/cgi-bin/test.pl"
    has failed to remain running for 30 seconds given 3 attempts, its restart interval has been backed off to 600 seconds

_{^{(The snippet was edited for clarity)}}

Also, the AddHandler line for FastCGI exists in the config file.

Can any tell me the possible reasons for this error? There is nothing recorded in Apache logs.
