Please, for your own sake, get this straight! You can usea *any* language available on your server platform. *ANY* language. The server doesn't care what language you use, only that it be executable. C, Perl, Bourne shell, Java, FORTRAN, COBOL ---- any old thing that meets your purpose. Hope this helps.
