I assume you mean the Gemini equivalent of CGI scripts?
Well you can do almost the same things that you can do with CGI in the WWW! - Just a little less fancier and more focused on content than visual effects. Some examples from my server:
* Linux man-pages and Perl documentation: gemini://h2903872.stratoserver.net/OnlineDoc.gmi * Ascii-"Art" with the figlet and the boxes program and other tools: gemini://h2903872.stratoserver.net/DevToolBox.gmi * You can capture the output of any command line tool and print it as a gmi document, see my lab-page: gemini://h2903872.stratoserver.net/CGI-test.gmi
I hope that helps.
Best regards from Charleston (WV), Frank/2

I just know serve scripts are possible, but I don't know what is
realistically doable and it of that what actually works within the
