If the script is written using CGI.pm, then it will be able to pick up
input from the command line:
% my_cgi_script foo=bar
etc. In fact, if you run a CGI.pm script from the command line with no
arguments, it will say:
(offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard input)
so you can enter them via stdin.
If it doesn't use CGI.pm, it should. ;)
