There are two different components that have to be installed, one for perl
(the client end) and another for apache (the server end).

The perl module SCGI needs to be installed, which can be done via cpan.  If
cpan doesn't work you can install it manually from the tarball, which can
be found in many places (eg, here
<http://www.namesdir.com/mirrors/cpan/authors/id/V/VI/VIPERCODE/SCGI-0.6.tar.gz>
).

Second, apache needs the scgi module (typically called mod-scgi) installed
and enabled.  As Doug mentions that can be done using your favorite package
manager.
