The problem here is that the actual module on CPAN is named FCGI. Gratuitously changing original name of software is something that we are trying to avoid historically, even if the original software breaks some other naming conventions by itself (a good example here would be p5-CGI.pm, which is called "CGI.pm" on CPAN, unlike the vast majority of CPAN content). In an ideal world, this would have been caught 3 years ago, and we would not be having this conversation. Cheers, \Anton. -- We're going for 'working' here.
