title: How can I run Perl scripts using FastCGI on Nginx?
body: <p>So I am following this guide: <a href="http://technotes.1000lines.net/?p=23" rel="noreferrer">http://technotes.1000lines.net/?p=23</a> and I am going through the steps. I have a VPN (slicehost.com) with Debian Etch, serving a website (static so far) with nginx. I used wget to download FastCGI and I did the usual make make install routine. </p>
  
  <p>So I guess since FastCGI can't normally run CGI scripts you have to use some type of perl wrapper to interpret the perl.</p>
  
  <p>Now I run this script</p>

  <p>and I run into the exact same problem that a person ran into on the page that the script was submitted: </p>

  <p>(I'm not a ruby person and there is nothing ruby oriented in there)</p>
  
  <p>I keep getting a </p>
  
  <pre><code># bind/listen: No such file or directory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I have no idea how to proceed. I would appreciate any help and I can give any more details that anyone would need.</p>
