There is something important I don't understand here. You say "receive XML messages from Google checkout", but that sounds to me like client (browser) side unless you work for Google. It may be that you are providing some sort of interface to Google checkout, in which case your application wears two hats - client to Google and server to whomever you are providing the interface to.

In any case it seems very likely that you can do all of that, but a bare "yes" answer possibly doesn't get you very far. What are your actual sticking points? Have you written any CGI code before?
