Summary: cgi scripts only run under mod_perl

Initial Comment:
There doesn't seem to be a good reason to require these
scripts to run under mod_perl only (although it has
obvious performance improvements).  Not requiring
mod_perl would enable other webservers/platforms to be
used more easily

Well, there's one more thing which would better done in
separated processed (than in this wuss of mod_perl scripts).
For example, I think quite some of my "lib not found"
problems wouldn't occure in running separately. These errors
tend to resolve when I request the page as often as needed
to get the initial apache worker process...

The workaround suggested below will work for those that
care, and it's not worth renaming everything in the main tree.

Moving this to later unless anyone is really bothered by
having to have mod_perl.

More investigation:

Removing the print "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" line from printhttp (in
Common.pm) allows the scripts to run under CGI without
problems, but then running under Apache::Registry causes
some HTTP headers to show up in the HTML.

Probably the correct solution for CGI at the moment is to
rename the scripts to nph-* so that they can issue the HTTP
headers directly (as they do under Apache::Registry). 
Currently I can find no way to switch mod_cgi into nph mode
for all/selected files.
