Most servers can use one of several languages
to run server side processes. If your program is in one of these
languages, you are ready to go. If not, your executable can be
called from one of these languages. Google for CGI, Perl, and
PHP. Other interfaces and languages are also available.

[Warning]: Allowing visitors to call programs on the server
can be dangerous to your site and the server machine.
Get up to speed on security before doing this.
