Serving CGI Scripts With Nginx On CentOS 6.3

Serving CGI Scripts With Nginx On CentOS 6.3

This tutorial shows how you can serve CGI scripts (Perl scripts) with
nginx on CentOS 6.3. While nginx itself does not serve CGI, there are
several ways to work around this. I will outline two solutions: the
first is to proxy requests for CGI scripts to Thttpd, a small web server
that has CGI support, while the second solution uses a CGI wrapper to
serve CGI scripts.
