It is possible to bypass the cgi wrapper, and run direct CGI on a 550 (or
any other box for that matter). Keep in mind that this can have a serious
security impact, if it is a shared machine, and anyone other then yourself
are getting priveleged to do that.

First, enable cgi. Not a cobalt howto, but this document will get you there;

http://mail.salvagebv.nl/salvage/Knowledgebase.nsf/e362601f3d4cb7b7c1256dee0
0548d9b/6c04813c92d8a56fc1256def00478319!OpenDocument&Highlight=0,cgi

Next; edit the vsite in /etc/httpd/conf/vsite/sitexxxx  and make sure the
.cgi and/or .pl extensions are no longer pointed to the wrapper, but to
cgi-script.
