Of course, when CGI programming is involved - there's CGI.pm, which is useful for quickly creating 'valid' CGI scripts, as well as the problem that many administrators dislike running custom executable code (ie: compiled) as it's impossible to ensure (without recompilation) that the source code is actually the executable code...

Although admittedly it's very easy to create perl which looks more like line-noise than when it's compiled ;-)
