nginx looks on URI to determine how requests should be processed, 
and you have to pass appropriate URIs to fastcgi.  I.e. to pass 
/bin/test_perl_script to fastcgi you should write something like 
this in your nginx config:

    location = /bin/test_perl_script {
        fastcgi_pass ...
        ...
    }

To pass everything under /bin/ write something like this:

    location /bin/ {
        fastcgi_pass ...
        ...
    }
