Re^2: Seven good reasons for Perl

As Perl's becoming less popular, webspace with real perl interpreter can be quite costly.
Prove it or shut up. And, I mean prove that a webserver with Perl installed is more expensive to operate than a webserver with ASP installed. Otherwise, you are spouting shit from your ass and I am not your toilet.

Dude, leave your bitterness at the door. He didn't say the operational costs of a webserver were higher -- he said finding "webspace" that let's you run perl is getting expensive. He's right. The dot-come days of web hosting companies with cheap shell accounts and web hosting that let you run whatever you want are dying fast.

Just as i'm typing this i'm looking at an ad for http://pair.com/ and they're cheap (and finding them was effortless). Sure guy was rude, but bitter? Wassercrat/s is bitter.	[reply]

Actually pair.com is positively pricy compared with http://www.ipowerweb.com/. What you'll find, though, is that cheap hosts have no problem letting you run PHP, but they won't offer mod_perl. So yes, Perl is there. But you won't get the throughput and performance that you will if you switch languages. The reason is that it is harder to lock down mod_perl than PHP in a shared Apache server. Which has nothing to do with anything that wassercrat(s) was complaining about.	[reply]
