I have done very little CGI, but my impression is that the CGI program basically is launched by the web server with the client request setup as input, and anything that is written to standard output goes back to apache, and is sent along to the client. So I would think you could.
People have kind of stopped using CGI because the CGI script doesn't receive any or very little information about the client, and it's history of being exploited by hackers.
