If you mean how do you execute a script when somebody first logs in
if onLoad is turned off, you can use an index.cgi instead of an
index.html file assuming that your server software will cooperate.
The cgi could render the contents of the home page as well as do
other things. If you just mean how do you call a cgi from a page if
no gizmos are running on the user's browser, you just use <A
HREF="/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi">Click Here</A> or set up a form.

I've forgotten who it was, but somebody once posted the following to
the list and it should get you started in the right general direction:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
alarm(10);
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<"EOF";
<html>
<head> <title> Environment Variables </title> </head>
<body>
<center>
<table border=2 cellpadding=10 cellspacing=10>
<tr><th align=left><h3>Environment Variable</h3>
<th align=left> <h3>Contents </h3></tr>
EOF
foreach $var (sort keys(%ENV)) {
print "<tr><td> $var </td><td> $ENV{$var} </td></tr>";
}
print (qq#</table>\n</center>\n</body>\n</html>\n#);
