Yes, but parsing a HTTP request, putting the various parts of the 
request into the necessary environment variables and piping to stdin 
while running the CGI binary, parsing its output and adding HTTP headers 
to send back to the web browser is... quite a lot of work. And a billion 
opportunities for mistakes. Surely I can't be the first person on Earth 
to have wanted to quickly test a CGI script without having to install a 
web server?
