Greetings

I am a web admin for a HP UNIX/Infommix DB system. I have 2 nodes.

Node A: OS (HP10.20)Web server (httpd). Infomration DB and PERL/CGI & HTML
are running to provide information(retrieved from Informix DB). 95% of
perl/CGI scripts are running on this node
Node B: OS (HP11.20) Load build and some CGI scripts running.

The old web interface was HTML embeded with PERL/CGI. It can provide simple
and plain display. I have a request to refresh the overlooking of web page.
I am doing some research to see if there is any scripting language or tool I
can use which can

1) Provide good looking web interface
2) Call all my old perl/.cgi scripts, so that I don't need to re-write
PERL/INFOMRIX DB API LIB
3) Don't need to re-write DB API/LIB to retrieve infomrix databas infomix

I have 2 server script candidate here "PHP" and "Java Script".I don't have
any hand-on experience with these 2 server script. Can anyone provide advice
on whether "PHP" or "Java Scripts" can seemlessly take use or call PERL5/CGI
scripts? Or is there any better choice if NEW one can take use/ca;; my old
PERL5/CGI scripts? I hate rewriting DB API/LIB.

Thanks

Dave
