I have noticed in your various posts that you refer to CF as well as
things like mod_perl as a CGI environment. Why? CGI stands for common
gateway interface. It is an API to allow a web server to execute an
application to handle certain requests. While ColdFusion can operate in
CGI mode, almost nobody does that. ColdFusion requests are generally
handed off to ColdFusion via ISAPI (IIS), NSAPI (Netscape/iPlanet), or
module (Apache). Further, as the name states, mod_perl is not a CGI
based implementation, it is in fact handling requests through the Apache
module interface.
