Thanks, Dave, but when I use the URL you suggested, I get a an error
403: "You don't have permisson to access /cgi-bin/simple.cgi on this
server".

I'm still stumped. 

Has anyone out there actually set this up on OS X and can provide
step-by-step instructions? It should be the same for every copy of OS X
out there who has simply turned Personal Web Sharing on and wants to run
a CGI...
