First step would be to check whether your host (or intended host) allows cgi. Some allow you free reign (within reason, obviously), some give you a set of pre-made scripts and others give an out-right no.
For example, Freeserve's free webspace has a form-redirect/format style script, and the cheaper hosting options at one-and-one (http://www.oneandone.co.uk) provide a similar script (along with others) - the more expensive packages allowing more freedom.
Anyway - cgi is a biiiig headache maker unless you're very clever and have lots of free time, so check whether your host can't give you a pre-made one. Otherwise there's loads of good cgi script web sites... the locations of which escape me at the moment...
