They use client-side JavaScript. This is a relatively new API available in most, 
but not all, recent browsers. This information will not be available to your CGI 
script. You will have to generate HTML with the proper JavaScript to get the 
geolocation (if the user allows it) and then send it back to your server through 
a different CGI script (or web application endpoint).
