Му experience is running FCGI processes behind nginx. You should make an
init script to run them (look for FCGI-ProcManager) or you could use
"spawn-fcgi" from lighttpd distribution or cgi-fcgi distributed with
libfcgi. You should start the scripts independently of the http server.

fcgi processes

If you are using CGI::Application as a framework, send me a mail
off-list to share some experience.
