I can call a cgi script from an html form, but I am not able to call a cgi 
script with one or more command-line arguments. Can anyone tell me how to do 
that? Thank you very much. 




CGI scripts don't have command-line arguments. Information is passed to them 
from the web server via environment variables and, for POST requests, standard 
input. You pass arguments to a CGI script via the URI query string. See
