Can anyone recommend a Perl/CGI script that will generate images
dynamically based upon and input LaTeX string? I would prefer one that
doesn't have a lot of dependencies, if possible. My only requirements
is that it supports foreground/background coloring and communative
diagrams.

Commutative diagrams are not that easy. Just consider that there are
quite some packages to draw them (I like Paul Taylor's for the UI, but
I blame its policy) and they generally require some work from a
graphics driver or an especially designed set of fonts. Anyway you may
check

And see how they did it.
