about CGI

I don't know Perl to build a CGI script but I know C++. I need to
know how the server use a "file.exe" and the html page from the client
browser. In C++ the data I need to consider is stored in arrays or
variables. The html page inside the server how is stored? How a
CGI .exe can find that data? how Perl find data?
