It's basically like a "portal". A CMS script can consist of many scripts in most cases that can be written in many programming languages. Content that is managed by many users and not just the webmaster. This calls for a content managment system (CMS).

Some good examples of free/not-free CMS's:
http://php.resourceindex.com/Complet...ing_Web_Pages/
http://php.resourceindex.com/Complet...s_and_Portals/
or in cgi:
http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Program...ing_Web_Pages/
and my lastest favorite (more of a portal than a cms):
http://www.mamboserver.com/

Simple CMS' can be used for running full blown portal to simple news site...

being able to manage the sites content automatically without having to run the content through HTML editing software and upload it. Instead you can just fill in a form on a site and click send and a news article is created magically...

Links and Downloads Databases are also part of a good CMS as well as Forums and the likes...
