in thread Should I just print my own HTTP headers?
You might be better off using CGI.pm to get started, and then later on if loading the 800+ lines appears to be a problem, replace it with your 10 lines. That way you only have to write one line now: "use CGI;", and you'll be able to look at the HTML source being produced so that you know exactly what you need to replace it with, if you still want to.
