Usage

    $octets = build_begin_request($request_id, $role, $flags, $params);
    $octets = build_begin_request($request_id, $role, $flags, $params, $stdin);

Arguments

$request_id: An unsigned 16-bit integer. ID of the request.
$role: An unsigned 16-bit integer. This should be set to either FCGI_RESPONDER, FCGI_AUTHORIZER or FCGI_FILTER.
$flags: An unsigned 8-bit integer. This should be set to either 0 or contain the mask FCGI_KEEP_CONN if a persistent connection is desired.
$params: A hash reference containing name/value pairs. Typically this is the CGI environ that the application expects.
$stdin (optional): A string of octets containing the FCGI_STDIN data. This should only be provided if $role is set to either FCGI_RESPONDER or FCGI_FILTER. Maybe undef or empty. Stream is terminated if provided.
$data (optional): A string of octets containing the FCGI_DATA data. This should only be provided if $role is set to FCGI_FILTER. Maybe undef or empty. Stream is terminated if provided.

Returns

$octets: A string of octets containing the begin request message.
