You don't need a script at all.  Create a directory called cgi-bin.  Copy
your script to that directory.  From the directory that CONTAINS cgi-bin,
run this:

   python /python23/lib/CGIHTTPServer.py 8081

adjusting the path accordingly.

Send your browser to http://localhost:8081/cgi-bin/test1.py.
