In this case, the nginx-fcgi daemon, which is a perl
process, handling the CGI things.

Hmmm. Right. So basically if we want to have a solid
FCGI daemon, one can write our own FCGI app which
will receive the requests from nginx. Right ?

In my case nginx-fcgi does currently the job and it is not
a very solid solution. Correct ?
