I am also not a Perl expert either. Simply picked the code from YaBB which is very old and very popular forum package in Perl. My point here was not regarding the quality of code. I simply wanted to know why CGI is able to do it while FCGI cannot. May be your guess explains that.
But generally speaking, wouldn't this break those Perl scripts which fork processes that output directly to stdout?
