If you're running Apache there is another way to solve your problem (that has lots of other nice benefits). With mod_perl you can run your unmodified perl CGI scripts under Apache::Registry. In the mod_perl config you can pre-load modules that will be available to all your programs w/o each program needing to explicitly use the module. Also your scripts be compiled once and will run within Apache (no expense of forking another process, so they'll run faster) and with Apache::DBI (no code changes necessary to get this benefit once your're running under mod_perl) you will have a persistant cache of DB handles so establishing DB connections will be much faster.
