Common Gateway Interface

I think I've also done some tutorials where I showed you...

If you guys have ever seen the CG, uh, CGI, that literally, I believe, used to stand for, uh, at least in the past, it was for Perl, right? Uh, that's not used anymore, [chuckles] especially, you know, if you install, uh, what, what's that program called? Uh, that was very popular.

Uh, cPanel, right? You can see, uh, I think even today they still have the CGI.

That used to be for Perl, but the Perl scripts are still used, but no longer front end for, for the web.

For example, if you, um, uh, what is that, uh, Apache...

Are you ready for it? That's Perl.

That's a Perl programming language.

And you see I was saying CGI, cgi-bin.

Yeah, I mean, I was in my 20s when I learned of it.

And so this is common gateway interface.

And it was the first way really that you could have a program respond to input on HTTP and typically written in Perl or some other language like that.

And the CGI just, I remember this because I wrote stuff on it.
