    Add a little javascript. CGI is server side, you need to use a client side method and javascript is the most supported.

    <script type='text/javascript'> alert('Hey there dude!'); </script>

    It sounds like you're after the JavaScript function alert(). If not, please supply some code which demonstrates what you're attempting to do; this link may prove useful: How do I post a question effectively?.
