What is CGI?

Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is an important Web technology that allows a client browser to request data from an application, which is executed on a remote web server. CGI specifies a standard for forwarding data between the client and the application.

Usually developers use Perl language to design CGI scripts. Still, CGI is created with the intension to be language-neutral - the web server does not need to know anything about the used language. In fact, CGI applications can be based on any scripting language as long as the web server supports it. Besides Perl, you can use Unix shell scripts, Python, Ruby, PHP, Tcl and C/C++ for creating CGI scripts. Find more details about CGI here
