CGILua version 3.2 is now available!
* What is CGILua?
-----------------
CGILua is a tool for developing dynamic HTML pages and manipulating input data from forms.
It uses the interpreted language Lua for codifying its scripts.
CGILua has been on the road for 4 years now, being used in many industrial
web sites and academic projects. Its main features are:
+ extensibility
through Lua libraries and dynamic loading of C/C++ libraries (uses internally loadlib)
+ multi-paradigmatic scripting
scripts can be written as Lua programs or HTML templates (HTML with Lua code embedded)
+ security
environment can be configured providing customized security schemes
+ portability
source code is POSIX compliant. Binaries were built for Linux, Solaris, SunOS, IRIX,
Windows 9x/NT, and soon for AIX and FreeBSD. Scripts are platform-independent.
+ flexibility
it is a Lua application! :-)
* Availability

CGILua is freely available for both academic and commercial
purposes and can be downloaded from the site below:
