in thread Seven good reasons for Perl

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.
So you're not going to prove it either? 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.

    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.
