Perl Script
With such a simple example, we could have written the shell script a bit differently
and then used it as a CGI script. However, shell scripts do not have enough features
to easily handle parameters or complex forms.
Instead, it is typical to use another language as an intermediate step. One of the most
popular CGI scripting languages is Perl. Perl has a full set of string handling
functions and can be combined with graphics libraries available from various
sources.

configuration file.
