You could just write one based on the shell wrapper script. Something
like (untested)

$mapserv = "/path/to/mapserv.exe";
$mapfile = "/path/to/mapfile.map";

if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq 'GET') {
    $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'} .= "map=$mapfile";
    exec($mapserv);
}
else {
    die "Sorry, I only understand GET requests\n";
}
