Well. Don't use $ENV{'PATHINFO'}. Don't try to open files like
"../dir/file.txt". Those two are what I had most trouble with.
Furthermore, it would seem as if CGI is better than ACGI if you plan on
having more than, say, 10, CGIes running at a time. ACGI locked ca 70% of
the servers i tested... (different machines, different server software...)
