to pass a link to a CGI program

[BlueMonk]

I want to run a CGI program when the user clicks on a link. Is there a method to pass to the CGI program the visited link?
I mean when the user clicks on the folowing link:
<A HREF="http://.../script.exe">A link</A> the string "A link" can be passed to the script.exe?

You can pass it as part of the query string.
<a href="http://.../script.exe?A+Link">
