You can, in apache, ScriptAlias a dir to a cgi-bin script, so:
ScriptAlias /rats/ /web/cgi-bin/run_rats.cgi
http://www.duo.com/rats/
runs run_rats.cgi (this seems wrong and the docs show it for dirs only, but I've seen the dang thing work, though I don't have access to the server). But, w/ the proper aliasing (see the scriptaliasmatch directive too) and path_info you should be able to get any script run on the rest of the line. Once apache finds an executable in the path, it executes that and passes the rest of the request in as $ENV{PATH_INFO}
