It does this to allow you to put in parameters the script would normally get
when running as a web page - like if it was a 'response' page.
If you don't have any parameters
perl mycgi.pl ""
Will get rid of it. It does so because this give it at least on parameter.
You can actually put anything you want there.

It is always a good idea to pre-generate static pages which change seldom
(where seldom could be a little as a minute but usually is more.) It is
almost mandatory if the page takes a long time (more than several minutes)
to produce.
