Because CGI scripts are a potential security risk, web.mit.edu and
www.mit.edu maintainers do not allow the general public to run scripts
on these servers. So, you cannot run a CGI script from your
Athena account.

Since CGI scripts require a server to run on, you'll have to find a
private web server which will allow you to run your scripts. Or, if
your computer is connected to the internet via resnet or tether,
you can run a web server on your personal computer and run CGI 
scripts from there.
