Ideally you could just install the mandrake apache rpm from the cd,
which then set up a virtual host for your website, with cgi-bin enabled.
Easily done in linuxconf or your favorite configuration utility.
If not, i'm sure it can be done in perl directly, since CGI doesnt
directly depend on the webserver since they use stdio. You can do wierd
things with pipes to get perl to talk directly to the web browser,
don't know if that would work for you.
