In Apache, simply use Action/AddHandler in your .htaccess file to translate external *.html URLs seen by users and search engines to internal *.cgi paths on the server:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/handler.html
Your users might never even know that your page are implemented internally with CGIs.
I've often wondered why ASP/JSP/Perl/etc. traditionally add their own extensions to URLs. This needlessly exposes implementation, and it makes it difficult to change the implementation (Parnas would not be pleased). <troll>It's poor design, and apparently MS is slow to understand this.</troll>

thank you for the explanation.
I inserted below two in .htaccess file
but in the query string has not changed at all.
Do i need to change also in httpd.conf file in parent directory?
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule cla/(\.*)/(\.*)/(\.*)/(\.*
Action my-handler /tell/cgi-bin/ADcla/cla.cg
AddHandler my-handler .html

Take a look at Expert-Exchange's robots.txt file, for example:
User-agent: *
Disallow:
There are also "Allow:" directives and you could list your .cgi script there.
The main hesitation behind spidering dynamic sites is that they may never have the same thing twice. That leaves doubt about whether a search engine should keep track of what the page once said, but which it won't say again if you visit it.
