nginx perl cgi

[Denis S. Filimonov]

I had the same problem some time ago.
The problem with this script is that it violates CGI specifications regarding 
POST requests. POSTed data must come to a CGI app from the standard input 
while this script parses the input and sets variables as if they came via a 
GET request, passing nothing to app's stdin. Thus, applications that follow 
specs strictly and expect POST data from stdin, fail.

I've modified the script to fix the problem, feel free to use it.
