I see that cassini is a debian. Making the scripts work should be little
more than running
apt-get install php5 python2.5 perl

python and perl should be installed with the base system. but it
won't hurt to try to install them anyways...

here some copy&paste commands to install some useful stuff

apache2 + php5 + mysql-lib + pgsql-lib:
apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql php5-pgsql

php5 for command line:
apt-get install php5-cli

python+postgres+mysql for apache2:
apt-get install libapache2-mod-python python-pgsql python-mysqldb

perl for apache2:
apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2

to speed up php5 with apache2 (a php bytecode cache):
apt-get install php5-xcache

also nice to have (graphic libraries):
apt-get install php5-gd imagemagick php5-imagick

for c/c++ development:
apt-get install build-essential

version management:
apt-get install cvs subversion git-core git-svn
