I personally wouldn't bother.  Wouldn't be the same a real-world (web 
server) environment, so it would be useless for a testbed, and the overhead 
of apache with a single process (meaning not the default spawn 5 children) 
is minuscule even on my notebook, so why even bother not using apache or 
even miniserv (a small perl web server that comes with Webmin and a few 
other apps I have seen and even supports SSL) for that matter.  If one has 
an app they want to run locally (with a GUI), why not do it in Perl TK, if 
they are expected to have it run without a web server...  but without the 
web server it really isn't a CGI, by definition of CGI, is it?  Since a CGI 
is (Common Gateway Interface) a standard for interfacing external 
applications with information servers, such as, and most commonly, HTTPd or 
Web Servers.
