No.

However it should be relatively trivial to parse either <STDIN> or 
$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'} to create a suitable array. The problem is that the 
output of a program that uses a CLI fo its arguments is unlikely to 
suitable for display on a webserver as it won't generate HTML. What you 
probably need to do is create a wrapper progrm (using for example the 
CGI.pm library) that you can then wrap around all these scripts.
