Definitions of cgi scripts:

CGI scripts are the most common way for a web server to pass a user's request to an application or program. CGI scripts are used for tasks such as submitting forms to a web server. Having completed an online web form, the form is submitted to the web server and then the data from the form will be processed by the CGI script. The script may send back a confirmation message telling the user that the form has been submitted successfully or unsuccessfully.
