At least on Mac OS 9 and below, it runs an an application that you leave
open. When a form submission comes into the web-server process, it sends the
data to that action specified by the form. That action has to be a running
program. You create a script-application that has the "on handle CGI Request"
handler, and direct a FORMS "Action" to it.
I would assume on X that it would run as a background process...similar to
other UNIX's, but I don't have Mac OS X, :^(, so I can't speak with how it is
done there. I may run similarly to 9 and below.
