+[02] IS PHP4, ASP, PERL, SSI, CGI AVAILABLE HERE?
+     YES!
+     This is probably FAQ #1 and its annoying as hell to have to
+     answer it over and over and over and over and over again.
+     We use suEXEC and suPHP!  What this means is that the tools
+     you have access to under your SDF membership are the tools
+     you can use in your website scripting.
+     To make use of SSI, be sure to use .shtml as your filename
+     extension.
+     Need to see php4 options?  Create a file called 'test.php'
+     in your webdirectory, and put the following inside:
+     How about CGI?
+     If you know how to ask the question, you better know how to
+     make use of the facilities.  Giving a detailed tutorial is
+     beyond the scope of this FAQ, however, very simple examples
+     may show up here. For instance:
+     If you want to create a simple CGI, you don't need to use
+     PERL, you can do it the UNIX way in ksh!  (PS, PERL != CGI)
+     #!/bin/ksh
+     #
+     # My silly.cgi
+     #
+     echo Content-type: text/html
+     echo
+     echo ""
+     echo "
+my silly hello world.
+"
+     To create powerful CGIs using LISP, you can use OpenLISP on
+     SDF by simply:
+     #!/usr/pkg/uxlisp/uxlisp -quiet
+     ;
+     ; My powerful.cgi
+     ;
+     (print "Content-type: text/html")
+     (print)
+     (print "")
+     (print "
+my powerful hello world.
+")
+     For more information and a tutorial on using LISP on SDF
+     for the web, see http://lisp-p.org
+     While we don't directly support 'ASP' you can convert any
+     ASP format file to a PHP file using 'asp2php'
+     ------------------------------------------------------------
+     Yes, use the extension '.cgi' for a script to be executed by
+     the webserver.  You can run 'mkhomepg -p' to set proper file
+     permissions after you have uploaded or created new files. Also,
+     you don't need a 'cgi-bin' or whatever like some sites have.
+     Its not necessary!  CGIs can be run from any directory within
+     your web directory.
+     If you have read this answer and its of no help, rather than
+     pestering all the other users, how about going off and reading
+     a book on PHP, PYTHON, LISP .. whatever ..
