Turbine is a Java servlet based tool, with some integration into other options -
specifically webmacro, which is a templates solution to the designer/coder split of
work - that is, designers generally work in html, producing files that have webmacro
codes in them, which the server side then expands to display to the client. All the
code/business code will be done in Java, called from Turbine.
Try this link for general info on the design -

I would think not - unless you can access the data from Java - either directly or via
some kind of intermediary, eg a flat file or database.

I would think not on this too - if you have html designers and java coders, then yes -
but perl/python etc - you might be spending too much time integrating - there might be
something more appropriate for your skills (is their a Turbine in perl?)
Hope this helps,
