about CGI

I don't know Perl to build a CGI script but I know C++.  I need to
know how the server use a "file.exe" and the html page from the client
browser. In C++ the data I need to consider is stored in arrays or
variables. The html page inside the server how is stored? How a
CGI .exe can find that data? Maybe you can tell me how the Perl find
data.

OK, English is not your best language.  And you work in M$ Windows.  These a
re not criticisms.  These are facts.  If you disagree, please say so.  (No a
rguments, just facts.)

A CGI runs within the environment of the web server.  This is true whether i
s M$ Windows or *NIX.  Its current directory is either the the starting dire
ctory of the web server (not common) or the directory of the CGI (more commo
n).  You can find your data
relative to your working directory or by absolute path.

As sample of your code would help.
