<para>The <acronym>CGI</acronym> slave provides a way to execute
<acronym>CGI</acronym> programs without the need to have a running web
server. This can for example be used for local testing of
<acronym>CGI</acronym> programs or for using search engines that only
provide a <acronym>CGI</acronym> frontend like the one from
<application>Doxygen</application>.</para>
<para>The slave implements the <command>cgi:</command> protocol. It
uses the filename from the given &URL; and searches a configurable
list of directories. If it finds an executable with the given name it
executes it, passes the arguments of the &URL; and sets the
environment variables needed by <acronym>CGI</acronym>
programs.</para>
