You may think I'm crazy for suggesting this, but it /might/ be the
simplest solution. Why not write the web server in Perl? Then you can
simulate CGIs by extending the actual web server.

Unfortunately this idea would require the DJGPP port of Perl to be built
with networking. I once tried to build Perl with libsocket & gdbm, but it
failed for reasons I could not understand. Maybe building Perl with
Watt-32 and the latest DJGPP packages (DJGPP 2.03, bash 2.03, etc.) would
work?

Bye,
