The CGI Standard:

Technology utilized for building dynamic web documents is termed as Common Gateway Interface (CGI). The CGI standard gives how a server interacts along with an application program which implements dynamic documents. This application is termed as a CGI program.

CGI gives general guidelines and permits a programmer to select more details. For illustration, CGI does not specify an exact programming language. In its place the standard permits a programmer to select an appropriate language for all dynamic documents. For illustration a programmer can utilize a conventional programming language as C for documents which needs extensive computation, and utilize a scripting language as Perl for documents which require only minor text editing.
