CGI scripts are often written in the following languages:

Perl, C/C++, Visual Basic
 Scripts written in the above languages are called server-side scripts as they are located on the server and are executed only when a user clicks 'submit' on a fill-out form.

And JavaScript, VBScript - are known as client-side scripting languages and are located in HTML documents and are executed by a web browser.
