Here's the setup I use for all my sites, using FastCGI on Fedora 9.

htpd.conf
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# CatalystSites.org
FastCgiServer /var/www/catalystsites.org/script/catalystsites_fastcgi.pl

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.catalystsites.org
    DocumentRoot /var/www/catalystsites.org/root

    <Location /static>
               SetHandler default-handler
     </Location>

    #Alias /var/www/catalystsites.org/root/static
    Alias / /var/www/catalystsites.org/script/catalystsites_fastcgi.pl/
</VirtualHost>

You may launch your app as a standalone server listening on a socket 
(http://search.cpan.org/~zarquon/Catalyst-Manual-5.7011/lib/Catalyst/Manual/Cookbook.pod#FastCGI_Deployment)
script/catalystsites_fastcgi.pl -l /tmp/catalystsites.socket -n 5 -p 
/tmp/catalystsites.pid -d

As Jonathan pointed out, "FastCgiServer 
/var/www/catalystsites.org/script/catalystsites_fastcgi.pl" should be 
required. Hope that helps.
