FCGI.pm ?

[Chris Cortese]

What about the nginx equivalent for the Apache ScriptAlias directive for 
cgi-bin?

I'm running fcgiwrap and have the following in my site config:

  location ~ .pl$ {
    fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/cgi.sock;
    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
  }

My directory structure is like:  (higher up part of the path omitted for 
simplicity)
/trunk/cgi-bin
/trunk/html/public/index.php

If I want to call http://mysite.com/cgi-bin/upload.pl    ...  How can I 
tell nginx where to find this?


Thanks,
Chris
