mod-fcgid

I have written my first fastcgi application (C/C++), and I need to test it to ensure that it is behaving the way I expect it to.

I have searched for examples on setting up Apache 2.2. with mod_fcgid, but all of teh tutorials etc I have seen, relate to PHP, Python, Perl etc.

Is anyone aware of a resource that shows how I may setup Apache to use mod_fcgid (NOT mod_fastcgi) to test my binary?

If no online resource is available (I'd be surprised), then could someone please point out the steps required to do the testing?
