I'm so close! I've written a few CGI scripts years ago, but I'm a perl weakling.

This code fails when run through FastCGI:

#!c:/perl/bin/perl
use CGI::Fast;
[download]

With this error:

Error!
Can't locate object method "FILENO" via package "FCGI::Stream" at
C:/Perl/lib/CGI.pm line 822.  
Compilation failed in require at C:/Perl/lib/CGI/Fast.pm line 20.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/lib/CGI/Fast.pm line 20. 
Compilation failed in require at (eval 4) line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 4) line 4.

But, if I tell FastCGI to reference the script directly, the following code runs perfectly. It keeps the same PID across multiple calls, increments the counter as expected, etc.

#!c:/perl/bin/perl -w
use strict;  

use CGI::Fast;  
my $count = 1;  
while (my $q = CGI::Fast->new)
{  
        print("Content-Type: text/plain\n\n");
        print("Process ID: $$; Count is: " . ++$count);
}

The difference is in the fcgiext.ini.

Here's the config that fails:

[Types]
fcgi=FCGI
[FCGI]
ExePath=C:\perl\bin\perl.exe
Arguments="-MFCGI::IIS=eval"
[download]

Here's the config that succeeds:

[Types]
fcgi=FCGI
[FCGI]
ExePath=C:\perl\bin\perl.exe
Arguments=d:\inetpub\cgi-bin\hello.fcgi
[download]

Of course, the config that succeeds will only run that one script, and that's a bad thing.

It seems evident I've misconfigured FastCGI somehow in such a way as when it calls my perl script, perl cannot build out its environment correctly. Any insights into what I might have done wrong in FastCGI? Is there some environmental argument I might be missing in perl?

Thanks!
