    I second Perl. Although I don't think there is a difference between a CGI language and a normal language, as CGI just redirects Standard Input and Standard Output.

    Agreed, Josh. CGI isn't really a language, it just a server technology that works with HTML Forms. And though you can create your CGI scripts in several languages, you should use Perl. It's better. :P

    Unless you are feeling gutsy, in which case: Rex.

    If you need any help with Perl, my favorite place is Perl Monks.

    I've heard that mod_perl makes this not as applicable.
