CGI is simply an interface for writing programs that process HTTP requests. There are many languages you can write CGI programs in, but probably the most common (and intended target of this forum) is Perl.

You can write Perl scripts in Notepad or any other text editor. Just find a Perl tutorial somewhere (Google will help).

Alternatively, you can also use PHP, a language I personally prefer, or a range of other languages such as ASP. It depends on what your server supports and your personal preference.

I think ASP is the best way to write CGI scripts. And since you can write ASP in Notepad, that's gotta mean CGI can be written there 2 :)
