What precisely is "a secure server?"  

I always figured that SSL required the equivalent of a .pl or .dgi or
.phwhatever program running in shell of choice.  Afterall, in my shell I
have the option of using the ISP's main /bin file for stuff on forms etc
OR I can do what I have done, and have my own non-accessible directory
in my shell accout of all the goodies necessary to run forms, or require
passwords, etc.

Am I that far off-base in thinking any shell account can contain a
"secure" area/form/whatever??
