I did not mean it's impossible. Of course CGI scripts are normal 
programs.

But I don't see the point of writing CGI scripts without actually 
running them on a webserver and inspecting the result in a browser. What 
do you learn from an obscure script that you have to execute in a 
"strange" way to see some random gibberish on the console? There isn't 
any context.

Anyway, if that was the goal of the exercise, I guess he can move on 
now.
