    And then there's the issue that I might not actually have permissions to run CGI scripts on the server I'm using.

    If you don't want to do CGI in perl yo can always use php or pretty much whatever language you like, you can just use one of the former as a wrapper
    and make a system call. Use whatever language you're comfortable with.

    You will need to learn how to properlty form a HTML response, however, and there's plenty of resources on that.

    to learn Perl.

    What language do you know? Anything that runs on the server should be
    able to be made to run CGI, it's a matter of how efficient it'll be.

    I worked at a company that wrote all of their original CGI in C.



    ... It's all more or less the same.. but it's all different now.

    since you usually deliver just text or gopher menus :-)

    Umm, true that.
