Well, if you feel like tackling packages and if your cgi is broken up into
subroutines, you could stuff those routines into a separate package and only
have the main code saved as a cgi. That is to say, have a small cgi that uses
routines from a large library file.

main.cgi	the main program (saved as CGI) which "uses" or "requires"...
main-lib.pl	a bunch o' stuff (not saved as CGI)

If you need some help or advice on packages and libraries and stuff, I'd be
willing to give what I can (which isn't really all that much).
