There are two pure perl FCGI protocol implementations (caller side)
available: Net::FastCGI and FCGI::Client.

Plack::App::FCGIDispatcher is a PSGI application to connect to a
FastCGI external daemon over TCP or UNIX sockets, so you can use pure
perl PSGI web servers such as Starman to talk to them. But since it's
all pure perl and experimental and not suited for the benchmarking,
but it could be handy for testing (we actually use FCGI::Client to
test our own FastCGI server side implementation in Plack).

When I seriously want to benchmark FastCGI i always use nginx or
lighttpd, which is easy to install and doesn't need external modules
such as the case with Apache.
