I know in html, 2 actions in a form is not possible. But is it possible in a cgi script?

Also is it possible to combine two different input names/values?

The CGI script simply outputs the HTML (containing the form) to the browser. The browser doesn't care whether the form was generated by a script, or whether it was on a static HTML page.

Could you provide a more specific example of what you want to do?

I'm trying to make a registration script that will register someone for both my forums and email.

I think some of the username values may be different between each other. And it needs to spit out a confirmination page that i can customize and/or an error page if one can't through.

A form can only have one "action", but a form can have any number of submit buttons. You can also have multiple forms on a single HTML page.

The script can easily generate a confirmation or error page based on processing the submitted form.

If you haven't dealt with scripts that process forms, there are some easy examples here:
