CGI (Common Gateway Interface) gives the option to provide programs or scripts on the internet which can be called from HTML files. These programs or scripts can also generate HTML code themselves and send it to a web browser.
Perl is a popular programming language that can be used with the Common Gateway Interface.
Tip:
Server-side scripting quickly leads to massive performance loss for commonly used web server systems and "budget" web space providers.
Consistenly high performance:
With Innter.Net's© Business Webserver the scripting is run on multi-processor server systems. These servers provide the highest performance and consistently low response times even for the biggest of projects.
Typical scenarios for the use of CGI scripts:
- Visitor counter
- Clocks, countdowns, date displays
- Portal systems
- Online auctions
- Audio systems
- Guestbooks
- Online games
- Image galleries
- Forums and discussion boards
- and many more, made possible with CGI scripts.
