Yes, virtually any language can be used to write cgi scripts.  Lisp
makes it pretty easy.  Check out the CLiki for Common Lisp links, or
cgi.el, for Emacs Lisp.

Hi tyrannou,

> can LISP be used with CGI??

CLISP works very successfully with the Common Gateway Interface. Its
startup is so fast and its relatively modest memory consumption means that
a  continually running session may not even be necessary. For example:

time clisp -q -x "\"hello\""
"hello"

real    0m0.112s
user    0m0.070s
sys     0m0.040s

Furthermore you can dump a memory image to a file and load that each time.

CLISP will not allow you to set a binary terminal stream. So if you need
to send or receive binary data you must use a faithfully reproducing
character set and newline. One that qualifies is the iso-8859-1 character
set and Unix newline character:

(defparameter *faithful* (ext:make-encoding :charset 'charset:iso-8859-1 :line-terminator :unix))

To set terminal IO to this encoding:
(setf *terminal-encoding* *faithful*)

Regards,
Adam
