does that mean i can run perl-based .cgi and .pl scripts directly from nginx? i didn't think this was supported?

This is possible, but not recommended.

Yes, the more I looked at that it looked like I was wrong. It's for embedded perl, not really for sending requests to CGI scripts.

Right now I'm having to proxy to apache on the same machine (localhost:81) (I was using thttpd but it kept crashing and I needed a little bit more functionality) - it's sad I have to include something else in the mix, I just wish we could get everything switched to something that can be proxied to more natively - fastcgi (php) or mongrels or something. supporting these older CGI packages is annoying!
