You can write a gustbook program in perl. These type of program are called as CGI (Common Gateway Interface) program. You have to place this program in "cgi-bin" directory. You can access the program from any html page.
idea - > here's a small idea on implementing a guestbook program. The program should have a user interface such as "name" and "message" text box entry. the user should fill in these textboxes and when clicked "submit", the program should store the information as a file in the server itself. Whenever a second user accesses the guestbook program, he/she should be presented with interface again. At the bottom of the interface, the entries read back from the file should be displayed.

if you want a small working guestbook script, mail me at rochesu2netfirms@india.com . please fill in the "subject" line with "Abyss Forum seeker" . Iam also a newbie, i thought we could build up an interaction from here and help each other.
