i had a similar thing to do a month or two ago, coming from hacking 
perl/web servers on linux.  i used a free web server called quid pro 
quo (formerly known as webcenter).  worked like a charm.  you should 
get the latest macperl (and make sure to save your scripts as 'CGI 
script' in order for them to work).  you can get quid pro quo from:

http://www.slaphappy.com

there's also a mailing list for it available at the web site.

cgi.pm works like a charm under macperl and quid pro quo.  setting up 
the server is simple.  once i had the software, i went from having 
never written a cgi or used a web server on a mac to running cgi's is 
less than an hour.

good luck.
