Help running a unix script from a web page
First, let me state that I am completely out of my realm with this.
I have a server running HPUX. I'm not even sure if this can be considered a UNIX question and for that let me apologize in advance.
I need to create a web page where a client can input 2 variables (i.e. date and phone number). Then upon clicking “Submit” the 2 variables will be populated in a script and that script will be run on the server.
I'll take any help that you can offer.

Example...
Client enters the date to be searched via the web page and clicks "Submit".
Script looks up all files in a specific directory that were modified on said date and displays them to a web page.

Thanks,
Al

fcgiwrap

FCGIWRAP(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       FCGIWRAP(8)

NAME

       fcgiwrap - serve CGI applications over FastCGI

SYNOPSIS

       fcgiwrap [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       fcgiwrap  is  a	simple	server	for  running  CGI applications over FastCGI. It hopes to provide clean CGI support to Nginx (and other web
       servers that may need it).

OPTIONS

       -c number
	      Number of fcgiwrap processes to prefork.

       -s socket_url
	      A URL for the listen socket to bind to. By default fcgiwrap expects a listen socket to be passed on file descriptor 0, matching  the
	      FastCGI  convention.   The  recommended  way  to deploy fcgiwrap is to run it under a process manager that takes care of opening the
	      socket.  However,  for  simple  configurations  and  one-off  tests  this  option   may	be   used.   Valid   socket_urls   include
	      unix:/path/to/unix/socket, tcp:dot.ted.qu.ad:port and tcp6:[ipv6_addr]:port.

       -h     Show a help message and exit.

ENVIRONMENT

       When  running, fcgiwrap evaluates these environment variables set by the web server calling an fcgi-script. The variables DOCUMENT_ROOT and
       SCRIPT_NAME will be concatenated and the resulting executable run as CGI script wrapped as FastCGI, with the  remainder	after  the  script
       name  available	as PATH_INFO. To disable PATH_INFO mangling, set up your web server to pass SCRIPT_FILENAME, which should contain the com-
       plete path to the script. Then PATH_INFO will not be modified.

       DOCUMENT_ROOT
	      directory which the script resides in
       SCRIPT_NAME
	      actual executable
       SCRIPT_FILENAME
	      complete path to CGI script. When set, overrides DOCUMENT_ROOT and SCRIPT_NAME

EXAMPLE

       The fastest way to see fcgiwrap do something is to launch it at the command line like this:
       fcgiwrap -s unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.sock
       Apart from potential permission problems etc., it should be ready to accept FastCGI requests and run CGI scripts.

       Most probably you will want to launch fcgiwrap by spawn-fcgi using a configuration like this:

       FCGI_SOCKET=/var/run/fcgiwrap.sock
       FCGI_PROGRAM=/usr/sbin/fcgiwrap
       FCGI_USER=nginx
       FCGI_GROUP=www
       FCGI_EXTRA_OPTIONS="-M 0700"
       ALLOWED_ENV="PATH"

       Nginx can be configured to have the arbitrary CGI cgit run as FastCGI as follows:

       location / {
	    fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT /var/www/localhost/htdocs/cgit/;
	    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME	cgit;
	    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fastcgi.sock;
       }
