This is not accurate.

I use apache for win32 (the prebuilt binary) on win95
with the DJGPP perl port and CGI.pm. This does work fine: stdout of perl
can be
grabbed by apache and the CGI script does gets its stdin. 
Apache cannot however access stderr of perl.
So instead of starting the CGI script with

#!/djgpp/bin/perl

I use

#!/djgpp/bin/redir -ea c:/logs/cgi.err c:/djgpp/bin/perl

The redir program is used to redirect cgi error messages to
a log file. This configuration works fine.
