All I'm saying is the statement was spawn-fcgi has nothing to do with
PHP. It does not in general but it does have built-in some PHP
helpers, so it was designed with PHP in mind.

I'm planning on trying the spawn-fcgi + fcgiwrap for CGI soon, and
stick with php-fpm for now for PHP...

Wasn't a problem with PHP. Was some sort of issue with spawn-fcgi not
passing the environment variable or something. Running vanilla "php
-b" with the proper environment variables worked perfectly.

Yeah, this has got off topic for nginx.

Back to on topic would be discussing the easiest/cleanest way to run
CGI scripts under nginx, I'd prefer using spawn-fcgi rather than the
perl launcher I think. I need to give it a try when I have some time.
