I can call a cgi script from an html form, but I am not able to call a cgi script with one or more command-line arguments.  Can anyone tell me how to do that?  Thank you very much.

CGI scripts don't have command-line arguments. Information is passed to them from the web server via environment variables and, for POST requests, standard input. You pass arguments to a CGI script via the URI query string. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface
