My apache configuration for this:

ScriptAlias /devel/public/ "/Users/fenner/src/ietf.org-cgi/PublicWebTools/"
ScriptAlias /devel/cgi-bin/ "/Users/fenner/src/ietf.org-cgi/PrivateWebTools/"
<Directory "/Users/fenner/ietf.org-cgi/">
    Options ExecCGI
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
<Location "/devel/">
    AuthType Digest
    AuthName "old ietf.org cgi scripts"
    AuthDigestFile /etc/httpd/htdigest
    # either the request comes from localhost or it must be authenticated
    Require valid-user
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
    Satisfy any
    SetEnv PERLLIB /Users/fenner/src/ietf.org-cgi/Libraries/:/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level/
</Location>

I particularly like using "Satisfy any" for this type of thing, since it allows unauthenticated access from the given IP address(es) and will allow authenticated access if the IP address doesn't match.

Alternately, it's not too hard to set up a command-line environment for running cgi scripts directly, if you don't even want the exposure of having them available on a server.

This is done; they're at http://compost.research.att.com/old/public/ - requires username and password if you're not coming from a buildbot; contact me to get a password.
