CGI enquiry
Hello,
I am new to Linux and have a general question.
In linux and unix you can have CGI scripts. I am aware of CGI as Computer Generated Images in graphics and Common Gateway Interface, but what are CGI scripts in relation to Linux or Unix?
Are CGI's in Linux and Unix relevant to only Web Development or are they used for other things?
Thank you

If I have a Perl CGI script (script01), which fills an array(s) with information and outputs a HTML page with a link to another CGI page (script02); is there anyway to pass the array(s) from "script01" to "script02" when the page visitor clicks the link?
Hope that makes sense!

template::plugin::cgi
Template::Plugin::CGI(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Template::Plugin::CGI(3pm)
NAME
Template::Plugin::CGI - Interface to the CGI module
SYNOPSIS
[% USE CGI %]
[% CGI.param('parameter') %]
[% USE things = CGI %]
[% things.param('name') %]
# see CGI docs for other methods provided by the CGI object
DESCRIPTION
This is a very simple Template Toolkit Plugin interface to the "CGI" module. A "CGI" object will be instantiated via the following
directive:
[% USE CGI %]
"CGI" methods may then be called as follows:
[% CGI.header %]
[% CGI.param('parameter') %]
An alias can be used to provide an alternate name by which the object should be identified.
[% USE mycgi = CGI %]
[% mycgi.start_form %]
[% mycgi.popup_menu({ Name => 'Color'
Values => [ 'Green' 'Black' 'Brown' ] }) %]
Parenthesised parameters to the "USE" directive will be passed to the plugin constructor:
[% USE cgiprm = CGI('uid=abw&name=Andy+Wardley') %]
[% cgiprm.param('uid') %]
METHODS
In addition to all the methods supported by the "CGI" module, this plugin defines the following.
params()
This method returns a reference to a hash of all the "CGI" parameters. Any parameters that have multiple values will be returned as lists.
[% USE CGI('user=abw&item=foo&item=bar') %]
[% CGI.params.user %] # abw
[% CGI.params.item.join(', ') %] # foo, bar
