I like to suggest a different method that does not involve cgi wrappers and if (I hope this true) your support environment is *nix it is simple.

Use Net::Telnet to programatically sign on and execute your script on the remote host.

Example:

use Net::Telnet ();
#set up telnet session the prompt
# can be tricky if not the same
#on each machine but some
#creative regex'ing should get you over tht hump
$t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 2-,
                      Prompt => '/bash\$ $/');
$t->open("your.remote.host.com");
$t->login($username, $passwd);
@lines = $t->cmd("./your_remote_script.pl");
# returns any result or error lines
print @lines;

I have used this approach in several fairly complex situations like compiling code on a machine that requires 3 hops through a firewall and returning results to me.
