I have invested a lot of time learning and buying books on Perl and I think it is a very mature, multipurpose language. Best of all, the support you get from people that do work in Perl (like the monks here) is outstanding.

However, in realizing how "expensive" CGI is on a server (specially if you make DB connections, according to Merlyn), tecnologies like PHP become more and more attractive to web developers.

Some of you may point to mod_perl, which I am now aware of. However, in my particular case, where I rely upon third party hosting services, mod_perl is not an option as most (if not all) hosting services won't allow you to write modules to the web server.

I plan to continue using Perl since I have grown fond of it and have invested lots of time learning it. But I will also begin learning PHP and consider it seriuosly when developing a web based application in the future.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
