No it doesn't. A CGI program is anything that'll write HTTP stuff to
stdout:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf("Content-Type: text/html\n\n");
printf("<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Sample CGI program in C</TITLE></HEAD>\n");
printf("<BODY><H1>Sample CGI output</H1><P>This page was generated by");
printf("a C program. Have a nice day!</P></BODY></HTML>");
exit(0);
}
or:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Content-Type: text/html"
echo ""
echo "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Sample in shell script</TITLE></HEAD>"
echo "<BODY><P>Stuff.</P></BODY></HTML>"
Perl makes handling the environment variables or the URL tail easier,
although there are plenty of other ways to accomplish that.
