Easy part first.  There are no modules installed locally and no debug 
output from sumo_fastcgi.pl that indicates that anything is missing.
I don't know whether this is relevant to dependencies, but if I 
regenerate the scripts with catalyst.pl sumo --force, I can run 
Makefile.PL without a problem.  FCGI.pm is installed, and I believe it's 
working since I could run the mod_fcgi sample script without a problem 
(with the apache conf file in its original, boilerplate form.)

When I run:

/var/www/sumosrus.spirit/web/script/sumo_fastcgi.pl -e -l /tmp/sumo.socket

(The listen part, -l, is only there to make it run.  It's taken from an 
earlier try.  I don't know what the command should actually be and at 
this point, with fcgi, I don't know whether anything must be started.)

I get the standard debug info -- boxes with loaded actions, classes, 
etc. No errors.  Nothing unusual.  The last output lines are these:

[info] sumo powered by Catalyst 5.80031
FastCGI: manager (pid 7003): initialized
FastCGI: server (pid 7004): initialized
FastCGI: manager (pid 7003): server (pid 7004) started

No errors are thrown to the log when sumo_fastcgi.pl is started from the 
command line.  The errors I copied, with the premature header etc., are 
logged when there's a request.

Perhaps there's a permission problem but, in an effort to figure this 
out, I have set everything at the site's "root," web, to 777 and 
everything in the scripts directory to 777, too.

Thanks.
