Problems with cgi and nginx

Hey

Im having some problems with getting perl/cgi to work on my nginx setup. Here is what i did and what issues im having. Im hoping someone can help a bit.

Setup:
Up-to-data arch.
nginx,percona-server,php-fpm installed, running fine.

To install cgi i ran.

pacman -S fcgi fcgiwrap spawn-fcgi

Then
systemctl enable fcgiwrap.

Added cgi to nginx.

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name www.home.php-freedom.net;
        rewrite ^ http://home.php-freedom.net$request_uri?;
}
server {
        listen 80;
        server_name home.php-freedom.net;
        server_name_in_redirect off;
        root /var/www/home_php_freedom;
        location ~* ^.+\.(ico|js|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|bmp)$ {
          expires 30d;
        }
        location / {
            index index.php index.html;
        }
        location ~ \.php$ {
	    try_files $uri = 404;
	    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /var/www/home_freedom_freedom$fastcgi_script_name;
            include fastcgi_params;
        }
        
        location ~ \.cgi$ {
        try_files $uri = 404;
        gzip off;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/fcgiwrap.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.cgi;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /var/www/home_php_freedom$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    	  }
    	  
        location ~ /\.ht {
            deny all;
        }
}

Then i added (removing or adding this file does not make any difference on the error i get in the end)

/etc/systemd/system/fcgiwrap.service
[Unit]
Description=Simple CGI Server
After=nss-user-lookup.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/spawn-fcgi -u http -g http -s /run/fcgiwrap.sock -n -- /usr/$
ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/chmod 660 /run/fcgiwrap.sock
PrivateTmp=true
Restart=on-failure
User=http
Group=http

[Install]
Also=fcgiwrap.socket
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Rebooted.

Now i can access a test cgi file. that runs fine.

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print <<EndOfHTML;
<html><head><title>Perl Environment Variables</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Perl Environment Variables</h1>
EndOfHTML

foreach $key (sort(keys %ENV)) {
    print "$key = $ENV{$key}<br>\n";
}

print "</body></html>";

But when i run other more comples cgi/perl scripts I get

502 Bad Gateway

Something is missing. But im not sure what. Most likly some perl modules that are to be added maybe as args. Who knows. I hope some of you do.

Edit: It seems only apache supports mod_pearl which i may need.
