It's easy for "normal" pdf2swf runs, but gets somewhat tricky for
"pdf2swf -b" and "pdf2swf -l".

Since you'd be running pdf2swf from a perl script anyway (right?),
wouldn't it be enough if there was a "-C" option for swfdump, which
would write out cgi output for it's input file?
Then, doing something like

    pdf2swf -q -lb file.swf -o /tmp/output.swf
    swfdump -C /tmp/output.swf

would generate cgi output.
