Actually, I just need an app to be run by the server, at the request of certain
web pages. The output could then be retrieved by other web pages.
CGI is merely an easy way to link the web pages and the apps that need to be
called.

It's not that HTML itself is a problem; it's that the app I need to write would
do some rather heavy duty processing which I am more experienced with writing in
C based languages.
