Most browsers support javascript unless the user has disabled it. The advantage of using javascript in this case is the ability to set cookies on the client. This allows you to populate the form with text that is customized for each user. I am guessing from your first post that this is what you want to do. Hope this helps.
What server would you have that doesn't have both PHP and Perl? If it's an MS server, you can do this in .asp/.net.
