Hi Ajfarroll,
In the main CGI in the Unix world refers to the Common Gateway Interface, which is a way of interpreting and generating web pages. If you would like to gain a deeper understanding then you could google for "RFC 3875" or Request For Comments 3875.
These in the main are scripts stored under the "cgi-bin" directory on web servers, they are mostly used to dynamically generate web pages.
Regards
Dave

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!

cgi::compile
CGI::Compile(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation CGI::Compile(3pm)
NAME
CGI::Compile - Compile .cgi scripts to a code reference like ModPerl::Registry
SYNOPSIS
use CGI::Compile;
my $sub = CGI::Compile->compile("/path/to/script.cgi");
DESCRIPTION
CGI::Compile is an utility to compile CGI scripts into a code reference that can run many times on its own namespace, as long as the script
is ready to run on a persistent environment.
NOTE: for best results, load CGI::Compile before any modules used by your CGIs.
RUN ON PSGI
Combined with CGI::Emulate::PSGI, your CGI script can be turned into a persistent PSGI application like:
use CGI::Emulate::PSGI;
use CGI::Compile;
my $cgi_script = "/path/to/foo.cgi";
my $sub = CGI::Compile->compile($cgi_script);
my $app = CGI::Emulate::PSGI->handler($sub);
# $app is a PSGI application
CAVEATS
If your CGI script has a subroutine that references the lexical scope variable outside the subroutine, you'll see warnings such as:
Variable "$q" is not available at ...
Variable "$counter" will not stay shared at ...
This is due to the way this module compiles the whole script into a big "sub". To solve this, you have to update your code to pass around
the lexical variables, or replace "my" with "our". See also <http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/porting.html#The_First_Mystery> for more
details.
