Adding CGI-capabilities to a BaseHTTPServer/BaseHTTPRequestHandler-based webserver

[Thomas Weholt]

I got a web-server project based on BaseHTTPServer/BaseHTTPRequestHandler. I
want to add cgi-handling capabilities,  execute perl- or python-scripts and
send the generated content and http-headers to the client. How can I do this
without mixing the two RequestHandlers in the standard-library in an awful
mess? I can restrict things in a number of ways: cgi-scripts must be in a
specified folder ( cgi-bin ), must have cgi-extension etc. to make this
easier.

Any ideas?

Best regards,
Thomas
