Some fairly elaborate Euphoria CGI programs
are running right now on ListFilter.com
using Red Hat Linux.

There are also Euphoria CGI programs running on
RapidEuphoria.com using FreeBSD.

Euphoria is a good language to use for CGI.
The ex.err dumps and ex.pro dumps are very
handy when debugging, and the speed is
much better than Perl.

I've never asked permission to use Euphoria.
I just installed it myself in my own directory.
If they allow C, they have to allow Euphoria,
since Euphoria is just a C program.

If you've never set up a CGI program before,
you will no doubt encounter a few glitches, such as
setting the right permissions,
using Unix \n line termination, and being aware
that a process that is not you, but belongs to
your group will actually run the CGI program.
These glitches will trip you up no matter what
language your program is written in. Of course,
if you are unfamiliar with Unix commands,
that will be another hurdle to jump.
