We just finisehd a thread on this subject (or something fairly close to 
it). The short answer is no.  However, there is a way to force MacPerl 
into hiding itself using Mac::Apps::Launch.  Your cgi will still hog CPU 
time when its running, but it will do so in the background, and only when 
you call it.

#!perl -w

use Mac::Apps::Launch;

Hide('MacPerl', 1) or warn $^E;

Thanks to Chris Nandor for that info, BTW.
