I fail to see why using C is going to require that.  Who said we planned
to use CGI for our C program?  Did you Dave?

[0] Python, Lisp, Scheme, maybe even prolog[1].  OK, I might even
consider C.  But, I'd avoid perl[2].

[1] Probably not terribly practical, but why not?

[2] Or not.  Sometimes I just dash out small things in perl.  But, if
this was a fairly major project, which is sort of is, but might not need
to be, I certainly wouldn't use perl[3].

[3] And this time I mean it.
