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. `;)` `japhy` -- Perl and Regex Hacker	[reply]

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. --xPhase	[reply]

If nothing else, it certainly proves that Perl is programming language of choice for fixing online polls :) -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> Perl Training in the UK <http://www.iterative-software.com>	[reply]

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

There is a new link http://soldc.sun.com/polls/past_polls/poll_week3.jshtml to the poll results. It kinda looks like things got changed when they archived it though.... --BigJoe Learn patience, you must. Young PerlMonk, craves Not these things. Use the source Luke.	[reply]
