in reply to Are we obsessed with CGI?
Obsession? No - it's not an obsession! Perl is not CGI-only language (but i know that there are people out there who want others to think that way).
What Perl really is (IMHO):
Although i often do some CGI scripting and (yes, yes) i do it with perl, becouse it's efficient and simple. I have many small scripts (~90++, and about 1/4 of them are cgi's) to do the dirty work for me.
Conclusion: I know some basic rules about Java programming, even sometimes use PHP (if i really have to), but i can't do anything about one thing... Perl fits best to *all* of my needs (computer/software related of course) ;->

What Perl really is (IMHO):
- Culture
- Community
- Technology
- *something* that we enjoy
- It's not another Web plug-in
- It's not ment to be Web utility (even if it is used this way)
- It's not to be underestimated (!!!)
