in thread Perl script to handle requests to a http://.../path/*

Thinking about it, maybe the "I don't have root access" stops you from taking this option, but I'm not sure, so I'll post this anyway.
Most ISPs let you create .htaccess files in each directory. Just put the DirectoryIndex option into the root .htaccess and you're on your way. The trickier thing is getting it to recognise files with no extension as CGI scripts.
