You can likely force quit them.  Make the offending CGI the frontmost app,
click on the CGI's window and hold down the mouse, and do
option-command-escape.  Then click OK if it asks to force quit the CGI.  If
it asks to force quit something else, say Cancel, and try again.

It often happens when MacPerl gets too busy to answer a given CGI, so the
CGI hangs.
