PCGI is a CGI script that is started via the normal CGI startup process 
when a request comes in for that script, like 
http://www.myserver.com/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi

mod_pcgi is an Apache module that does the same thing as the PCGI CGI 
script but doesn't need to be separately started up every time, thus 
speeding up access. As an Apache module, it is part of the Apache process 
itself.
