Ironically, even shell scripting can be used to perform some website CGI
tasks.

The Super Dimension Fortress (SDF, www.freeshell.org) I have an account
with makes mention of this in its FAQ about designing webpages on SDF
accounts (their FAQs are available on their website for anyone, including
nonmembers, to read).  Their shell is the Korn shell so I didn't do much
CGI with shell scripting, but you can use bash shell scripting to
accomplish the same general tasks on a Linux webserver as you would with
Perl or another language.

And have you looked into how this will violate the T&C for the subscriber
website service?
