It all depends on the way you configure your server.
For example, with Apache, anything below a ScriptAlias directory is
automatically interpreted with mod_cgi, regardless of the extension. So,
if I have in my httpd.conf:
ScriptAlias /cgi /some/unix/path
and then put my Perl script "register" into /some/unix/path/register
with the right shebang line and executable bit set, I can invoke
http://my.host.example.com/cgi/register
and it runs my script. You can't tell what implements it. In fact,
you could even make it "register.html" for all that it matters (none!).
