how do you use it?

I'm kind of perplexed here so I'll ask the stupid questions.

When I use perl and call for a CGI module, I get with it all kinds of really 
cool abilities related to %ENV and STDIN/STDOUT and the ability to even set 
cookies...

I can't find much of anything about what FCGI/FastCGI offers in terms of methods 
or properties that are similar..

Is it correct to assume that FCGI doesn't do any of this and if I'm interested 
in any kind of CGI related functionality (headers, cookies, %ENV...) then I 
should probably just load the CGI modules?

similarly under ruby I should load fcgi, cgi, cgi/cookie, cgi/session rather 
than expecting any of this kind of insight into the HTTP process from the FCGI 
working environment?  (please don't take any of these negative questions to be a 
slight on FCGI/FastCGI

It's a stupid question but I would feel stupider if I found I was loading 
multiple modules when only one was required.  I haven't really found anything 
that tells me that fcgi does other than some rudimentary examples.  (or is it 
that simple and I'm just trying to make it complicated?)
