Is there a command that calls a CGI script from another server? And does anyone mind if I start an entire thread just for one question?

What do you mean by 'call'? Include the results in the calling page? You should be able to do that with an iframe.

But if you want to execute a CGI script that is on Server B from Server A, I don't think that is possible.

Okay, how about if I wanted to input a variable, then it goes through the CGI script and then it returns the results?

Javascript or a form.

That will work if the script is in another server?

For simplicity: You can't host a script on another server.

How do I "run" a CGI script? Do I replace the entire HTML file with it and then when I open it, the CGI generates the page?

Give Apache and mod_perl +ExecCGI and run it.
