I'm tempted just to link to Re^2: manipulating a data table.
Why? Why this ammount of pure pain?
- Scary operating system that you don't want to run a server on - CHECK
- Emulating a completely different operating system family - CHECK
- ... in user space - CHECK
- Using two languages with probably the most opposite philosopies (TIMTOWTDI vs. TOOWTDI) in the same program - CHECK
- ... when both support the common gateway interface (CGI) out of the box(1) - CHECK
- Using the slowest possible interface (CGI) to the webserver - CHECK
- ... despite both languages and most common webservers supporting FastCGI(2) - CHECK
- ... despite both languages supporting integration into the webserver (mod_perl, mod_python) - CHECK
What is wrong with you?
Among collegues, I would ask if your domina has become too weak ...

(1) Perl did so, for a long time. In very recent versions, you have to install CGI via CPAN.
(2) FastCGI: See also Re: CGI or CGI::Fast, Re^9: mod_perl, and weird caching

Today I will gladly share my knowledge and experience, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so". ;-)

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.
