If the script doesn't take too long to execute and you do not need to process it's results then a wrapper script like this should be enough to get you up and running:
use strict;
use CGI;
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI;
@ARGV = ();
foreach ($q->param()) {
$value = $q->param($_);
$value =~ s/"/\\"/g;
push @ARGV, "--" . $_ . '="' . $value . '"';
}
do 'path/to/the/script.pl';
All it does is it moves the parameters from the querystring or post into the @ARGV array (array of script parameters) in the format required by the script and then executes the script without starting a new process.
As long as the script prints its results to STDOUT they should be sent to the client browser.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
