C++ and cgi

[radofeya]

I just acknowledged that the compiled C++ code can be execute by the web server by rename it to xxx.cgi instead of xxx.exe

What is the different between the perl cgi script and the above ?

well...if the compiled C++ code has generated an executable...then it will be executed on the server like any other program...a perl script would be executed by the perl interpreter as opposed to being run directly like an executable
