Everything I've done with CGI has only worked with a HTTP daemon running.
That doesn't mean you can run one locally (without a connection even).
Just download a HTTP daemon like MacHTTP2.2 or NetPresenz (from
http://www.macworld.com as a safe place) and start it up when you dial
in on a PPP session.

Or assign your MacTCP a bogus fixed IP address (with the network set
to ethernet or local talk) and launch the daemon without dialing in.
