Any language you want.  It's just a program that gets some data from the
user via the web server (by command-line args, environment variables,
and stdin) and spits out a new page.  Perl is often convenient and
commonly used, but C/C++ is also common, and there's no reason you can't
use sh, lisp, or even INTERCAL (*).

(*) Okay, INTERCAL might be missing an equivalent of getenv().
