Hi,  
I’m a newbie to rails and programming…  
I don’t know anything about CGI scripts… The only thing I know about  
CGI is that it stands for Common Gateway Interface. To be honest with  
you, this is as concrete as it gets!!! Please someone help me with  
that so at least I understand what it is, concretely, and that I can  
use it if I need to. If you guys have examples (code) that might help  
as well.

Thank you
