Look at http://search.cpan.org/~lds/CGI.pm-3.20/CGI/Fast.pm with
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/FCGI/.  It makes fcgi work exactly
like cgi.pm except for environment variables.

You get all headers and can set cookies with CGI::Cookie.  You do get
environment variables set but they are start on process startup and are
not reset on a connection by connection basis.  Stdout/Stderr are piped
to the web server so that stdout is sent to the browser and stderr goes
to the webserver error log. (If you're using mod_fcgi with apache.)
