nginx with http_perl_module doesn't execute perl scripts just downloads them

On my Mac OSX 10.7.4 with Perlbrew's Perl-5.16.0 I have this nginx.conf:

server {
   listen 1234;
   server_name MyPHPPerlServer;
   root "/Library/WebServer/servdir"; 

location / {
fancyindex on;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
         fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
         fastcgi_index index.php;
         fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME    $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
         include fastcgi_params;
         }

location ~ \.pl$ {
         try_files $uri =404;
         gzip off;
     #fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:8999;
         fastcgi_index index.pl;
         fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
         include fastcgi_params;
         } 
}

For this configuration to run the PHP scripts, I compiled and ran php-fpm, and it runs PHP fine now.

To run the Perl scripts, I compiled nginx with ./configure --add-module=../ngx-fancyindex --with-http_perl_module and nginx runs fine with this configuration but when I browse to http://localhost:1234/index.pl it doesn't execute the Perl script, it just downloads it.

As a check, I shut down the nginx and start Apache with the cgi_module on and it runs the index.pl perfectly.

What should I do to make nginx run the Perl scripts? Thank you.

The scripts are being sent to the browser because that's the default manner in which request files are handled, and you don't override this (say by using fastcgi_pass). Please follow the instructions.
