CGI script supported languages (for hostopia cgi-bin)

[#1]

What languages are supported for CGI scripts in the cgi-bin directory:
bash (yes, but the version is 2.x)
what about perl python, ruby ?
any others?

[#2]

Perl and Python are supported. I don't think Ruby is, although I might be mistaken:

$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.0 built for i586-linux-thread-multi

$ python -v
Python 2.7.3

$ ruby -v
-bash: ruby: command not found

[#3]

That's interesting, because I found the versions to be different:

Bash	GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(3)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Ruby	
Python	2.2.1 (#1, Feb 3 2005, 15:45:36)
Perl	This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for i386-linux-thread-multi

That was on "web6c50.megawebservers.eu" but that varies on each request (I susepct there's a load balancer?)
I couldn't get an answer to "python -v", or "python --version", I had to do it the long way: python -c "import sys; print(sys.version)"
It would be good to have Ruby, if that's at all possible. Also, do you know if "fastcgi" is supported at all ?

I ran my commands from the shell environment which you won't have access to. Whilst it may defy logic, the two environments are treated slightly differently (Hostopia's set-up is pretty non-standard). Having said that, it would be interesting to see the state of play once your most recent problem has been resolved...
From phpinfo (which again, you're unable to execute):

Server API: 	CGI/FastCGI
