|  | Demonstrations of scripting support*** within the WASD package.
| All of these should work when using the DEMO.COM procedure. When on an installed server some may be disabled completely or configured to require authorization in line with local requirements. |
CGI* |  | A comprehensive, efficient, subprocess or detached process based CGI environment is available, as used in a variety of CGI-based scripts.
CGIplus* |  | WASD CGIplus combines the ease of CGI programming with the efficiency of persistant scripting.
RTE* |  | Run Time Environments allow "intepreters" for persistant scripting to be built using the CGI(plus) interface.
ISAPI |  | An ISAPI implementation provides the efficiency of persistant scripting and CGI-like programming via a de facto industry standard interface.
OSU* |  | DECnet and OSU-compatible scripting is available (though may not be configured for this server).
Java |  | Have Java installed on your Alpha or IA64 system? If so check out the Java-enabled scripting environment (including persistent CGIplus).
DCL |  | The CGIUTL utility eases the processing of POSTed requests, and generating responses, transfering and uploading files, etc., from DCL-based scripts.
Cookies |  | HTTP cookies are available to scripts.
Perl** |  | Have Perl available on the system and want to improve it's response-time by a factor of twenty? Who wouldn't! Check the Perl RTE package available from a WASD download site (this used to be supplied with the basic package but from version 8 is distributed separately).
PHP** |  | A persistent interface (RTE) to the OpenVMS PHP scripting engine is available.
Python** |  | A persistent (RTE) Python scripting engine is available with the latest VMS Python packages.
Tomcat** |  | A persistent interface (RTE) to the OpenVMS Tomcat package is in development. This supports Java Server Pages and servlets.
* The CGILIB C-language function module eases interface and portability issues. ** Check a WASD download site for latest developments. *** Scripting support is described in detail in Scripting Environment.
