Eh, it's not so bad. Make a .htaccess file:

.htaccess:
===
Action dhp-script /cgi-bin/dhp
AddHandler dhp-script .dhp
===

Drop in your files.

hello.dhp
===
<?d cgi.write("Hello, world!"); ?>
===
NOTE: that is cgi.write, not writefln. This version uses
my cgi library so you have all those awesomesauce functions.


And in your cgi-bin folder, build dhp out of this
file:

http://arsdnet.net/dcode/dhp_cgi.d

And drop my cgi.d into your /tmp directory.
http://arsdnet.net/dcode/cgi.d

End result?

http://arsdnet.net/dhp/hello.dhp

works.


Of course, you'll see this is slow because it
runs the compiler every time. If it used rdmd instead
of dmd though, we'd get cache and it'd probably work
pretty decently. (My computer doesn't have rdmd set up
currently though.)
