HTTP_HOST gets set in the environment by the webserver when it calls the
CGI, thus HTTP_HOST is an environment variable.

To set the HTTP_HOST variable from the command line, try

HTTP_HOST=www.example.com ./cgi-program

or

export HTTP_HOST=www.example.com
./cgi-program

to keep it persistent in your shell.
