Perl can do that, too.

Let's see what's required:

  1. Run your commercial website on IIS.

    Uh huh!

    (Not even MS will do that.)

  2. Persuade *all* your users to install ActiveState Perl; and ActiveState PerlScript.

    Right!

    (Wanna buy our bagles? Okay just find, download and learn how to install this 5GB of sofware. (And then install a C compiler and learn how to use it once AS take the repository for whichever version you installed off-line.))

  3. Persuade *all* your customers that it is safe to enable ActiveX controls.

    You mean that ancient, long deprecated, technology that has has 330 vulnerabilities in the last 10 years (and 2 in this month alone; and probably 1000s if you still find the infor mation for the preceeding 10 years.)

    Mmmmmmmmmm.

  4. Find an insurance company willing to insure your business.

    Maybe you could get funding for the premium from that new kickstarter style site run by philanthopic law firms: FIFFLE. (Funding Idiots For Future Lawyer Employement).

Riiiight. DCUW(N)CU.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". The enemy of (IT) success is complexity.
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. Suck that fhit
