4.11.2. Description
Displays the value of a CGI variable submitted to the current page. This is similar to [value ...], except it displays the transitory values that are submitted with every request.
For instance, if you access the following URL:
http://VENDURL/pagename?foo=bar
bar will be substituted for [cgi foo].
This is the same as $CGI->{foo} in embedded Perl.
