FCGI.pm ?

[Jim Ohlstein]

The way I am using it (and the credit ALL goes to Grzegorsz who helped me a great deal with it) on CentOS is to use the Perl script on that page (http://nginx.localdomain.pl/wiki/FcgiWrap).

Then you add the following to the site config:

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

You can adjust the number of child processes to suit your needs.
