This works for me: (where the eventbot.fcgi is an auto-generated script
produced by Catalyst's build process).

$HTTP["host"] =~ "(www\.)?eventbot.dryft.net$" {
    fastcgi.server = (
        "" => (
            "eventbot" => (
                "socket" => "/tmp/eventbot-fcgi.sock",
                "max-procs" => 2,
                "check-local" => "disable",
                "bin-path" => "/var/www/eventbot/cgi-bin/eventbot.fcgi"
            )
        )
    )
}
