HP's implementation of CGI is called Starbase.  In their latest release of
the X11 server, there is a Starbase support (called "sox11" for Starbase
on X11).  You can create a X11 window, and make Starbase calls to the
window.

HP's current X11 server is X11R2 + fixes + backing store.  Since the support
comes in the form of a binary library which is linked in, I think you would need
to buy an HP Unix system to get the support.

caveat:  I have spent the total of 2 days exploring Starbase on X11, so
         I am no expert.
