Hi monks,
Initially(3 years before) I thought that php would be a better language for doing web programming, because most of my colleagues used that. After some 3 years of exposure to perl , i now feel that CGI or mod_perl would be a better choice(I am a newbie to CGI and mod_perl). Now if I see my colleagues, they are slowly moving from php to ruby on rails because of more agility.
If any monk knows about the three different web languages, please give me a list of advantages and disadvantages of choosing anyone among the three languages.
I am more interested to choose CGI and mod_perl, but I feel that before entering into this, I must know which is comparatively better language.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
