What about just making a little program that listens on port 80 and
replies with your CGI when asked for something ? That would be a
solution, if you want anybody to be able to run this script. If you want
something more elaborate, just make this program a bit more elaborate
(something that replies only if queried a specified document, or a
password system).
I *think* it should work all right, but then I'm no specialist.
