Excellent! Thank you Eric! I did find the recommendation last night and
read all about it (MicroWeb) but was curious as to how it worked out for
you - sounds like it went fairly well.
I'm pretty impressed with how configurable it seems to be (able to use just
about any language for CGI scripts.. etc..)
Thanks again for your response! You helped me out tremendously!

I used MicroWeb - http://www.indigostar.com/microweb.htm.
You can download a full-functioning version with a "not licensed" pop-up.
It installs itself with a version of Perl (IndigoPerl). You get only a very
minimal install of modules at the start. However, this Perl appears to be
fully compatable with the ActiveState modules (though no ppm). I just
copied over the modules I needed from AS Perl on my HD. Only issue was that
several of the modules depended upon several other lesser known modules
(alot more than I realized). Once this was worked-out, all worked fine.
The application I developed, used CGI.pm (included with MicroWeb, though I
may have added some additional CGI::xxxx modules), DBI::ODBC (used a
DSN-less connection), Cwd (to determine the drive-letter of the CD-ROM for
DSN-less connections, etc), PDF::Create, and several other modules.
The MicroWeb web-server itself is an Apache-based web server. It starts
itself and opens the default page if autorun is configured on the CD-ROM.
Otherwise, there is an executable to start the application.
HTH,
- Eric
