Is it possible to perform seo on a .CGI pages and what specifically?

Basically, I have a website with a shopping section mywebsiteaddress*.com/cgi-bin/merchandise.cgi?products with multiple products and categories. What’s the best way to perform seo on these pages and most beneficial. If you are an amateur, please don’t try to give me a crap shoot…I want an educated answer by someone who is familiar.
Assuming you .cgi pages have HTML output:
Make sure that that output has valid contents; contents first, forms next, menus last (HTML source-ordered code)
SEO is the same whether you use plain HTML or generated HTML.
Do make sure web crawlers get the same results as human visitors; search engines don’t take to kindly to generated content that is based on visitor type.
In addition to following basic rules for web site design (use semantic value of tags not just for appearance, organize you content, etc.), your scripting language should be able to add meta tags to the header of the pages you generate. That would be how to add keywords, author, description, robots, etc. In Perl CGI it is something like this:
print start_html(-title=>”The Page Title”,
-meta=>{‘copyright’=>’2008 by Your Name’},
– style=>{‘src’=>’http://example.com/css/main.css'});
