Just apply a RewriteCond that says NOT /cgi-bin/blah first. Then the RewriteRule will only get invoked on the first pass, not once it has been done (untested)...

There are also other hooks to prevent looping (they let you see it this request is a subrequest of the original) but that should do the trick.

RewriteCond ! ^/cgi-bin/myscript.pl.*$ 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /cgi-bin/myscript.pl?$1

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
