Hmprf! Don't call my Ada progras "scripts"!
But yes. Generally people use Perl for CGI programs. If you
get it right the first time, and don't need to use the
program again a few months later it is probably also ok for
the job.
I have noticed quite a few people have started using PHP
lately. PHP seems to be slightly better integrated with both
Apache and SQL oriented database systems.
I don't use Perl or PHP (as indicated above :), so I can't
help with implementation details.

Copenhagen. :-)
Play well,
