For free members, only the normal HTML protocols are supported. So Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, etc. work fine. Really, anything that renders on the *clinet* should work fine. In a couple of cases where you are doing something obscure, sometimes the "MIME Types" aren't set up right on the server and that can interfere. The team has generally been good about adding new MIME types as people have a need for them.

For paid members, Perl is offered through the 'cgi-bin' functionality. The support is somewhat stripped to prevent some major forms of abuse, but you can use our custom modules to do some pretty neat things. Some code you download off the web may need some modifications to get to work properly. Also, we don't support CPAN or some popular modules, but if they don't require compilation you can generally massage them into working just by uploading the module source into your directory. (For reference, we run Perl 5.8.0 which is pretty recent.)

UNOFFICIALLY, we offer some stripped down SSI support so you can do fancy inclusions like having a single file for the footer for all of your pages. However, I don't think we offer that officially and it could someday disappear. Id oubt it, but you never know.
