And then there's the issue that I might not actually have permissions to run CGI scripts on the server I'm using.

If you don't want to do CGI in perl yo can always use php or
pretty much whatever language you like, you can just use one of
the former as a wrapper
and make a system call. Use whatever language you're comfortabl
with.
You will need to learn how to properlty form a HTML response,
however, and there's plenty of resources on that.

Hi there,
Which gopher implementation will you be using?
You don't really need perl. It is just that Perl is the most
convenient language for such thing (at least for most tasks I have
had to take myself). You can also use regular sh if you feel like
it. Or write your own C monster, in theory.

What language do you know? Anything that runs on the server should be
able to be made to run CGI, it's a matter of how efficient it'll be.
I worked at a company that wrote all of their original CGI in C.
... It's all more or less the same.. but it's all different now.

Honestly, the language I know /best/ is Python, and even then I'm not that great at it. I've learned other languages in the past, but my memory is terrible (to the po
where I've started considering seeing someone about
it) and I can barely remember most of them.

I think a gopher CGI page would be very doable with Python, so you may as we am a weirdo.

Alright, I'll give it a try. Been wanting to write a cgi guestbook for my gopherhole. Other things, too, but I think a guestbook's a good place to start.
I thought Gopher was more of a read-only type protocol, no?
Have you played with modifying Synchronet gopherservice.js?

Yes, but the protocol supports queries. Queries were designed for
searches afaik, but some people use queries for feeding CGI scripts
with instructions.
So you could send the script a query with a sentence in it, and the
script could store such sentence in a guest book.
For gopher, you are unlikely to need HTML in a gopher response
since you usually deliver just text or gopher menus :-)

Please share your code. I've attempted to get other guestbook code from goph IRC channels. No one really wants to share and usually I'll receive a respon like 'figure it out yourself.'
I found the gopher community on irc to be nowhere near helpful.
