Has anyone ever created CGI scripts with Lisp? Is there any information on the
Web on how to create CGIs with Lisp?

Many thanks.

Yes.  (...especially if you include Scheme in your definition of Lisp.)

See ftp://ftp.std.com/pub/gjc/siod.html for George Carrette's "SIOD", a
small-footprint Scheme which comes with with some examples of CGI scripting,
as well as some examples of using Scheme for writing standalone Web clients
(e.g., there's an "http-get.scm" and an "ftp-get.scm" in there, as well as
a stub Web server).  [Caveat: SIOD is not R4RS-compliant. But it's small
and fast-starting, which are good things for CGI programs...]

The paper ftp://ftp.std.com/pub/gjc/chtml.html also shows an interesting
way to do a variation of server-side includes that can work whether your
CGI application is written in Perl, Scheme, or C.

p.s. Not what you asked, but as for Web *servers* written in Common Lisp or
Scheme, see:
