The thread title make evident my confusion about the topic.
I tried Skylark for first time and it works although not how I hoped.
I am used to PHP scripts. I put them in some folder of a server (not mine) and call them by http request. I've done even some complex program with PHP+MYSQL.
It seems Skylark is quite different. It is itself a server (if I have understood) and not just an executable that wake up and performs some action . How to use it?
Do I need to save the executable in some directory? I suspect I need specific privilege on my ISP server.
I am very sorry if my questions looks silly

Well, basically it can act as server - but in that case you would be limited only to Skylark or would have to use non-standard port.
I guess that the most common way how to use Skylark is to start it on some internal special port, make your application an init.d daemon and configure apache to communicate with it using SCGI or HTPP proxy (Skylark automatically detects the connection type, so no need to configure it for one or another).
When HTTP request comes, apache will match the directory of skylark app and then redirects request there, gets response and returns to browser...
