And why don't you have the luxury of using Perl? If it has to be C, I think
there's a tool or two for converting Perl code to C that might be helpful....
I can understand not wanting to make it web based if there's no human
interaction. Perl can talk directly to the database too...

The problem (not really a problem but the issue) is that the client end is
a computer, not a human, so you'd still need some program to talk to the
web interface. Since we don't have the luxury of something like Perl and
it's LWP libraries (that make it easy to write web clients), we'd still
need to write a web client in C. Certainly quite possible, but not my
favorite choice (see my other responses for why I think in general a web
app might not be best).
