Convert CGI to EXE

Can you convert CGI to EXE?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert CGI to EXE?
No - not a direct conversion.

You don't 'convert' a CGI script to a Windows EXE. A CGI is server-side source run by an interpreter. If you specifically need a standalone binary, COMPILE the program with its language toolchain (e.g. PAR::Packer for Perl, PyInstaller for Python) - that's compiling, not a file conversion, and only makes sense for a few use cases.
