Not answering your question exactly, but couldn't you have the CGI script do a chmod on the file with shell just after it saves it. This won't need sudo as the CGI runs as the owner of the file and can change permissions. I just tested here and it worked.
Actually in many CGI setups, a CGI script runs as "nobody" or "www" or whatever user the httpd process is running as, regardless of who owns the script files. According to the Apache docs: "Normally, when a CGI or SSI program executes, it runs as the same user who is running the web server."
That's right. So when the CGI script creates a file, the new file's owner is whatever name the script is running under (nobody, www, etc.). So the running CGI script can change permissions on it.
