indeed, CLISP is the perfect tool for any job (except heavy FP
computations, and even there FFI can get you a long way :-)

do you know about memory images?

hmmm....
I don't like that you refer to clash.html for information on CLISP
internals and I don't like that you have to resort to SHELL to list
your environment.

I just fixed that.
Now (getenv nil) returns all the environment as an alist and it is
documented in the impnotes.

thanks for bringing this to my attention.

dump your own image and use

#!/usr/bin/clisp -M my-cgi-image.mem

see <http://clisp.cons.org/clisp.html#opt-memfile>
