Does it mean that I can write a event for a action ? Anyway, when do I use Apache Module and when do I use CGI ?<br />

<div>
use apache modules where you want to add extra functionality to the server (like being able to process another inline scripting language)<br />
<br />
use CGI to perform dynamic functionality on your web sites - i.e. as a hit counter, email form processor, etc<br />
<br />
event/action? &nbsp;er - the module is essentially (AFAIK) just a handler for a particular type of file - a CGI can be invoked by accessing it's URL - the server will then execute the CGI program and return it's output through the net to the user's browser<br />

What is the different between Apache Module and CGI ?

Apache

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
