[Catalyst] Problems with session under IIS

[koniczynek]

Could you please provide a link or some sort of howto on getting Catalyst
to work with FastCGI? Is it possible to run Catalyst after user enters my
URL, eg: http://example.org or is it impossible and you have to use
http://example.org/script/MyApp_fastcgi.pl?
