The web designer had web pages that he was trying to convert from Apache to
nginx.
Those pages were calling Perl programs from nginx using slowcgi.
I was the one that was configuring nginx.
It would have made my life easier if a couple of points were added to the
documentation.
1) that running "slowcgi -d" give extensive tracing information of all requests.
(but remember to /etc/rc.d/slowcgi stop" first)
2) that all programs and their libraries have to be copied into /var/www
3) #! Lines are examined in text files and that information is used to find the
programs,
But no search rules are applied so you have to type
#/usr/bin/perl
Not
#!perl
