I am going to study CGI. When we write a program (like reading inputs from forms) in CGI - pearl do it only works on a webserver?

If yes is there is any environment for experimenting with it offline?

You can do it either way.

What I usually do is duplicate everything to another set of files so that I can experiment without taking anything offline or interrupting the active set. I change the duplicate set names and links so that I can revise when and as I have time; then when everything's ready to update the real, then I go ahead and copy everything back over.
