Hi.

My situation. I bought 6 months worth of service from a unix shell
provider. Part of the deal was that that the public_html/ dir in the shell
would be cgi-enabled, but they haven't followed through on the deal. I've
chatted with admin dude on irc, and he keeps trying to get the directory
cgi enabled ... but he never seems to get it together.

I don't want to hassle them too much, because they tolerate alot from me
already, above and beyond what's permitted by the Terms Of Service. But
... I really would like cgi.

So, I was hoping to find a small, portable cgi server I can install in my
shell all by myself. Presuming it leaves a really small cpu/ram footprint,
hopefully I can negotiate with the admin dude that he should allow me to
do that, given that he has failed to live up to his part of the deal.

Any recommendations?
