Why does my perl fastcgi script does not open socket


I am write a simple perl FasCGI script by example

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

use FCGI;

my $count = 0;
my $request = FCGI::Request();

while($request->Accept() >= 0) {
    print("Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n", ++$count);
}

than i am making this script executable and executing it in terminal, but instead of opening the socket, that script prints

Content-type: text/html

1

and ends. Why?

UPDATE

Thanks guys, but I don't understand one moment, how my script know, i installed or not web server module?And why i need server for normally run fastcgi script? for example when I run Catalyst fastcgi starter, I don't need any server, and I can run that script in any machine, without server.


Solution

  • Please check the Installing FastCGI section from the following link. I believe you are missing this. http://www.intranetwerx.com/bookshelf2/linux/cgi/ch17_02.htm
