I think this is not secure in any case. I don't really understand why your users don't like telnet/ssh. A telnet bash session has completion, history and all goodies a Web-based one won't have. Typing commands in a Web page and a telnet session -- what makes the difference? Moreover, it's slow. manpages doesn't display well, for example.
If they really want it Web-based, consider a Java telnet/ssh client like
http://javassh.org/
If they only need to carry out some predefined tasks, I think you may give them a Web interface with some menu options which execute the commands for them. But to have a command line directly attached to the Web is a very dangerous idea I can think of even if the user community is trusted.

If I have a Perl CGI script (script01), which fills an array(s) with information and outputs a HTML page with a link to another CGI page (script02); is there anyway to pass the array(s) from "script01" to "script02" when the page visitor clicks the link?
Hope that makes sense!
