Has anyone implemented Lisp as a CGI-bin scripting 
language?

Does there exist a set of libraries that would support
Lisp as a CGI-bin scripting language?

You might want to browse the following, some of which is Scheme-based
(but what the heck):

	http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/iiip/doc/cl-http/home-page.html
	ftp://ftp-swiss.ai.mit.edu/pub/scsh/contrib/net/su-httpd.html
	http://people.delphi.com/gjc/siod.html#cmd  [note file cgi-echo.scm]
	http://people.delphi.com/gjc/www95-paper.html
	http://www.eval-apply.com/scheme/etcgi.htm

If you just want to mess around a little, the cgi-bin stuff that comes
with the SIOD version of Scheme might be simplest (though be warned that
SIOD is not R4RS-compatible -- it's closer to SICP1).

For really *basic* examples, see Chapter 16, "Example: Generating HTML",
in Paul Graham's "ANSI Common Lisp". (The code in the book may be fetched
via anon-FTP.)

Go to Altavista and search for {"web" and "cgi" and "lisp"},
and read the FAQ for this newsgroup.

Or ask around your own department: I used to work there and I know
there are people who are running Lisp-based web servers there.
