Damn, it seems that ipower's CGI support is limited to perl and python (even 
though they conveniently make no mention of that anywhere except *inside* 
the logged-in member-only section). Oh well, maybe I'll luck out and be able 
to convine the client to use a less sucky host on my second attempt :/  But 
I dunno, he seems to be pretty in love with them.
