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!

upsstats.cgi
UPSSTATS.CGI(8) NUT Manual UPSSTATS.CGI(8)
NAME
upsstats.cgi - Web-based UPS status viewer
SYNOPSIS
upsstats.cgi
Note
As a CGI program, this should be invoked through your web server. If you run it from the command line, it will either complain about
unauthorized access or spew a bunch of HTML at you.
DESCRIPTION
upsstats.cgi uses template files to build web pages containing status information from UPS hardware. It can repeat sections of those
template files to monitor several UPSes simultaneously, or focus on a single UPS.
These templates can also include references to upsimage.cgi(8) for graphical displays of battery charge levels, voltage readings, and the
UPS load.
ACCESS CONTROL
upsstats will only talk to upsd(8) servers that have been defined in your hosts.conf(5). If it complains that "Access to that host is not
authorized", check that file first.
TEMPLATES
The web page that is displayed is actually a template containing commands to upsstats which are replaced by status information. The default
file used for the overview is upsstats.html.
When monitoring a single UPS, the file displayed is upsstats-single.html.
The format of these files, including the possible commands, is documented in upsstats.html(5).
FILES
hosts.conf(5), upsstats.html(5), upsstats-single.html
SEE ALSO
upsimage.cgi(8)
