Hmmm...
I was just trying to write some perl poetry and stumbled onto this little brouhaha.
What I think is interesting, is how Perl may not be the right solution for the job. However, Perl can do anything. In the case of CGI, or any web application, Perl may not be the correct solution, but it glues it together. Even I am humble when Perl is not the correct solution (i.e., Windows OS and VBScript, bad experience with proprietary software, don't ask ). But Perl seems to be able to do anything, it is just a matter of How and How fast.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
