I hate it when urls are longer than they have to be, so I really like
the Apache behavior that uses index.html as the default web page. 
(Okay, everyone does it now days, but Apache pioneered it, no?)

But what if I want my default web page to be a perl script?  I could put
an http redirect in in the headers of index.html, but that makes the
back button not work (unless you're really quick), and I /HATE/ that. 
This is for my cs web page, so remember in your answer that I don't have
admin access to the web server.

The question is worth 100 points.  You have 10 minutes to answer.
