I'm guessing what you are finding confusing is you don't want to 
"delete" over http protocol.
What are you actually trying to delete? The CGI file itself? If so, I 
think you want FTP, not HTTP. Or, if it's local, plain ol' FILE.

I suppose there _is_ a delete request method for HTTP, but that would 
still rely on your CGI script to do the actual deleting and/or 
dangerous server permissions...

HTH,
