CGI Directory

Each hosting account includes a special CGI (common gateway interface) directory where you can place small pearl and cgi program scripts. These CGI scripts allow you to run small programs on the server that can provide your web site with interactivity. For example, if a visitor submits a form from your web site, you can call a form mail handling CGI script to take that visitor's information, format it, send you an email, and send the visitor a thank you page.
