Help please,

I am writing some Octave scripts to be used as cgi programs. I need to
be able to read some cgi environment variable within Octave. How can
this be done. Also, how can I execute an external program from Octave.

Many thanks, and a happy xmas from sunny South Africa. It is 34C in
Cape Town today.
