Uhhh ... this is bigger question than you have given information for. Questions for you:
  1. Do you have any CGI scripts running right now?
  2. How much do you know about CGI programming?
  3. Is this a page that already exists that you want to modify slightly?
  4. Will netobjects allow you to run a Perl CGI script on their site(s)?
  5. If they do, are you paying for that level of service?
  6. If they do, are you allowed to write it?

PHP and Javascript have one important capability that Perl does not - you can embed them into a webpage. Perl (usually) requires that you have access to the webserver itself. netobjects recommending PHP or ASP implies, to me, that they don't allow access to the cgi-bin directory. More info would definitely be useful ...
