You might want to look at 
https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2002-May/004471.html to 
see how we run our GCI scripts out of AFS. It lacks some of the elegance 
of http://www.umbc.edu/oit/iss/syscore/wiki/Mod_waklog, but it has served 
us very well. Whereas Mod_waklog uses a real Apache module, we use a 
ScriptAlias to an external program to fix up the runtime environment for 
user's scripts.

Cheers,
