Yup. Providing the socket for fcgiwrap to listen on is your problem
(fcgiwrap doesn't care whether it is a tcp socket or a unix domain one
etc.). The simplest way to run a single fcgiwrap is to use spawn-fcgi,
like this:

spawn-fcgi -f /usr/local/bin/fcgiwrap -a 127.0.0.1 -p 8001

or

spawn-fcgi -f /usr/local/bin/fcgiwrap -S /tmp/cgi.sock

If you want to run multiple instances, give the Perl launcher from my
website a try.
