	Computer-generated imagery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		CGI is used in movies, television programs and commercials, and in printed media.
		CGI is used for visual effects because it is higher quality and more controllable than other more physically based processes, such as constructing miniatures for effects shots or hiring extras for crowd scenes, and because it allows the creation of images that would not be feasible using any other technology.
		CGI then took a central role in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), when the T-1000 Terminator villain wowed audiences with liquid metal and morphing effects fully integrated into action sequences throughout the film.

	An interactive introduction to HTML and CGI scripts on the WWW (courseware)
		A CGI script is a program that is stored on the remote web server and executed on the web server in response to a request from a user.
		When a CGI script file executes it may access environment variables to discover additional information about the process that it is to perform.
		As the CGI script runs in the servers cgi-bin directory, any file paths which are relative, must be relative to this directory.

		Eric Wienke has a page "Debugging CGI Scripts 101" at http://www.liquidsilver.com/scripts/debug101.html Tom Christiansen's "Idiot's guide to solving Perl/CGI problems" is a slightly tongue-in-cheek list of common problems, and how to track them down.
		It's also possible that you didn't print a header at all, or had a blank line or other noise before or in the header, but that the HTTPD has corrected this error for you (servers which correct your errors may give rise to the "works on A not on B" phenomenon).

		It is possible for a script to receive CGI parameters in the URL as well as in the fill-out form by creating a form that POSTs to a URL containing a query string (a "?" mark followed by arguments).
		If you are running the script from the command line or in the perl debugger, you can pass the script a list of keywords or parameter=value pairs on the command line or from standard input (you don't have to worry about tricking your script into reading from environment variables).
