in reply to Are we obsessed with CGI?

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa

I have a confession: I have never written or installed a Perl CGI script and I've been using Perl for Web Development for six years now. Mod_perl, networking, yes, but never a good ol bread n' butter CGI script. My first Perl script generated a static web site from an Access database and templates. Hell, no cgi-bin and a 486; what's a guy to do? This worked so well for me that I kept it up for years. (The XOOM.it communities are still created from a perl script of mine that generates PHP files from an Excel spreadsheet. Scary when your cheesy hacks take on a life of their own.)
