Any particular reason why? CGI is a crude, inefficient mechanism, and  
AS isn't a good language choice given its total lack of web-related  
infrastructure. ACGI is a niche within a niche within a niche, and  
Apple is, sensibly, much more interested in adopting well supported  
mainstream solutions (e.g. Ruby on Rails will be included in Leopard).

If you really want to do ACGI then get a copy of ACGI Dispatcher  
<http://www.sentman.com/acgi/>. It's only a few bucks and does the  
job. For serious web work there's far better frameworks and languages  
available and they'd be well worth looking into.
