There are no Apache reasons why you shouldn't be able to do this as a CGI script.

You just need to keep in mind:

1) Your CGI is running as part of the Apache batch job, with the same
privileges as the userid in the User directive in httpd.conf.

2) Multiple Apache children can be executing your CGI at the same time, so you
must take care to choose unique tempfile names (i.e. pid/pin-based).
