Guile 100 #5: Guile meets PHP

Challenge #5 in the Guile 100 Programs Project is to write a CGI script that serves up HTML pages with embedded Scheme, a la PHP.  It is the first challenge in this month's theme, which is "Web 1.0 -- Web 1990s style".

Also we have a solution for Challenge #2, which was to re-implement the command `ls' in Scheme.

The Guile 100 Programs Project is an attempt to collaboratively generate a set of examples of how to use the GNU Guile implementation of Scheme.

There is a 100 USD bounty for writing a readable solution to this problem.

Boring details after the jump.

To help ensure that each challenge has at least one completed implementation, an "official volunteer" will be chosen at random from those that have expressed interest in the project.  If that official volunteer can complete the task in two weeks, he or she will receive a bounty of 100 USD.  The official volunteer for this week's challenge will be chosen on Wednesday.

For more information, check out the project's website at http://www.lonelycactus.com/guile100
 
To request to join the project as a potential official volunteer, or to otherwise contact the project, e-mail guile100@lonelycactus.com

Meanwhile, in my real life, I find that taking 5 months off from the gym was a bad idea.
