    whats the cgi-bin for? I've always wondered that

    and isn't cgi supposed to be old and slow? why is it still being used today? Tons of interactive sites still have cgi-bin in their url but I thought they'd be using something faster.

          Perl programs can be slow.. but some scripts are written in a programming language called C which are pretty fast, and use that same directory.

            is the bin where the prosessor is, or where the scripts are stored?
