You can do this with the use of iframes & java script. Put this html on the page that you'll have your link to your cgi on,
<IFRAME SRC="page.htm" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=1 CROLLING="no" FRAMEBORDER=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0></IFRAME>
And in the page.htm file, put this script in the head
<script language = "javascript>
<! --
self.window.name="little_frame";
// -->
</script>
And now go back to the page with the iframe on it, and the link, in the link make sure that it's targeted to "little_frame", by putting target="little_frame" in the links html.
Then when you click the link, the page / your cgi will load unnoticed in that small Iframe which is 1 x 1 pixel, you'll never see it load, and this way the data will be able to be sent to your script. You can also target forms the same way. In the <form tag just add the target="little_frame">
