in reply to Creating a Website in Perl

Other monks have given some fine advice and I recommend that you listen to them. You may not be aware of the history of the web but, once upon a time, almost all dynamic web pages were written in Perl and we're still up to the job.

The other thing I'd like to point out is that you can even write custom web servers in Perl but it's usually better to let apache/nginx/etc do the heavy lifting.

    Oh, and yes, HTML is pretty much mandatory if you want to spit out web pages. It's going to be hard if you don't understand the language you're trying to speak. I say "pretty much" because you could send XML+XSLT but you would still need to know HTML to write a reasonable XSL transformation for XML.
