It isn't hard... just imitate the print statements in a PERL CGI-BIN
program. The most important is the one that says:
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
That is PERL... If that is the first thing output, everything else
printed will go to the browser. Not sure how to grab the form data, but
if you use POST, it might be found in stdin; though you will have to do
some translation to get your blanks and such back.
