Learn to Use the Available CGI and Perl Scripts

Common gateway interface (CGI)

CGIs are used for a number of situations, including page redirecting, form processing, dynamic page rendering, and database access. CGIs can be very powerful and useful applications if written correctly. However, if written incorrectly, CGIs can waste system resources, cause system crashes, or even destroy data. CGIs can also pose a significant security risk if not written correctly. CGIs are currently permitted.
