[ale] creating web pages on remote servers

I want be able to update a flat file (.txt) on a remote Server(B) without a 
password. I will install a .php/perl/cfm/asp script and place a blank file 
(with write permissions, I guess) on Server(B).

Server(A) will trigger a script that prompts Server(B) to parse a page 
dynamically created on Server(A). I want Server(B) to save the the data from 
the parsed page in the flat file (so that it can access the info without 
relying on Server(A)). There is no mySQL database on Server(B).

My question goes to web administrators: 
Would Perl (cgi-bin) or .php be more likely to have FILE WRITING ability on 
hosting accounts around the world? Would it be common for servers to be set 
up so that a .php/perl script could write to a file?
