If you search the archives of the list for a message from David Steffen (I
think Yesterday) called "A CGI Dispatcher", it has a script that you can
use to deal with this problem.

If you can't find it (I seem to recall something about difficulties with a
list archive, but that might not have been this list?), then maybe David
will resend it to you.

The basic idea is to write a CGI that loads and uses Perl scripts saved as
text.
