If you are using CGI.pm, you can just run the script from within MacPerl.

So for a script that might be called with

  http://some.host.com/cgi-bin/script.acgi?some=field&foo=bar

You would run it, and the MacPerl window would show:

  (offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard input)

Below that, you type:

  some=field
  foo=bar

And when done, you hit return and control-D.  CGI.pm uses those parameters
to feed to the CGI script.
