That really depends on what you want to do. If you want your cgi script
to open its own SSL connection, you need to install the perl SSL module
(crypt:ssleay, or something like that - I've never used it myself). If
you just want to make your script work on a secure http connection, just
configure the secure site with a cgi-bin directory, and put your script
there. You don't really need to do anything special. I wrote a
slideshow cgi script in perl that works on both sides of my site without
modification.
Depending on what you want to do, of course. I suppose there are
situations I am not aware of when it comes to perl and cgi. But give it
a try. Worst that can happen is it won't work :)
