    The best part is not the 50%+ that Perl has. The best part is the statistical flub of two JSPs on the list. Update: and that the poll in the sidebar of the main site is updated, while the poll on the link you sent isn't. ;)

    I think the best way to think about this poll is not simply what language is used, but what it requires to actually develope a web application in these languages. All need something to actually run the code(except for c, c++ I think). The reason that perl is the highest is that most webservers have perl installed, and CGI.pm is part of the base install, and many have mod_perl, as opposed to whatever is needed to host asp, jsp or php pages, which I think speaks very highly of perl for web based applications.

    Wow. Think it might have gotten a bit skewed when perl.com linked to it?
