Can't get simpler than this:

---------------------
program cgitest;

{$mode objfpc}{$H+}

uses
  Classes;

begin
  writeln('Content-Type:text/html',#10#13);
  writeln('<html>');
  writeln('<head><title>FPC Test</title></head>');
  writeln('<body>Hello World</body>');
  writeln('</html>');
end.

-----------------------

Output is shown in the attached screenshot.  Obviously you need a webserver
to correctly view the results. Simply install Apache and enable CGI support
(if not enabled by default).

As you can see from the sample application, CGI apps are simply glorified
console applications.
