Agreed. I use bash scripts for my cgi and output plenty of data, building HTML on the fly.

For example, I have a help topics page for my wife that is entirely scripts. I add a small text file, and the script formats it and puts it on the webpage in alphabetical order.

I.e:

Clothing_And_Shoes

would be the name of the text file, and inside would be some simple information.

Here's a copy of a script named ShowHelp.cgi that would be called from index.shtml (SSI must be enabled) and would output the text files:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
cnt=0
printf 'content-type: text/html\n\n'
LST=`ls|grep -v cgi|grep -v html`
for i in $LST
 do
  cnt=$(($cnt+1))
  LNK=$i
  NM=`echo $i|tr '_' ' '`
  printf "<tr><td align=justify bgcolor=white><center><a name=$LNK>Note $cnt:<b>&nbsp;&nbsp;$NM</b></center><br>"
  printf '<table border=0 align=center cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 bgcolor=white><tr><td align=justify>'
  cat $i
  printf "<p align=center><a href=#TOP>Top of Page</a></p>"
  printf "</td></tr></table>"
  printf "</td></tr>"
done

Hopefully that will help, but as scarfake said, without some information of what precisely you need, we're just guessing.

tthsplit

TTHSPLIT(1)						      General Commands Manual						       TTHSPLIT(1)

NAME

       tthsplit - TtH gold HTML file splitting utilities

SYNOPSIS

       tthprep filename.tex
       tthsplit <filename{.html,.xml}
       ttmsplit <filename{.html,.xml}
       tthrfcat

DESCRIPTION

       The  script  tthprep runs LaTeX to generate the auxiliary files that tth or ttm need to properly link respectively an HTML or XML web docu-
       ment.

       The programs tth or ttm for converting TeX or LaTeX documents to HTML or XML respectively have a -s option which cause them to  generate  a
       single  output  file  split  into  sections or chapters with fixed names. The program tthsplit splits the single file into files with fixed
       names depending on the LaTeX source. Each document should have its own directory to avoid overwriting each others files.

       Program ttmsplit is just a symlink to tthsplit.

       For complex documents with multiple bibliographies the tth and ttm programs generate references to a  single  file  refs.html  or  refs.xml
       respectively. The tthrfcat program concatenates multiple bibliography files into such a single file and then deletes the multiple files.

EXAMPLE

	    $ tthprep sample2e.tex
	    $ tth -s sample2e.tex
	    $ tthsplit <sample2e.html
	    index.html
	    sec1.html
	    sec2.html
	    footnote.html
	    $

       produces  the  four  cross  linked  HTML files listed from a copy of the example file sample2e.tex distributed with LaTeX 2e and present on
       Debian systems with LaTeX installed.

SEE ALSO

       tth(1), ttm(1).
       The programs are documented fully in
	/usr/share/doc/tth-common/html/gold_man.html.
