One way is to create a simple script that calls the hidden one.
Then place the hidden script in 
/usr/lib/perl5/site-perl/
That's where site-perl is on a RAQ2

So your page would call something like
<a href='miniscript.cgi?someparam'>link</a>
or <form action ='miniscript.cgi?someparam' name='somename'>

And mini script would have
require "hiddenscript.pl";
followed by the starting routine in hiddenscript.pl

You can put code in the hidddenscript.pl to stop unauthorized 
vsites from using it. ie. make sure it is being called from your 
server and by an authorized site.

Hope that helps.
