This is the thing that most people forget about CGI. It doesn't necessarily have to be
done in perl, any language can be used. I know several people who code all their CGI
stuff in C, but a great many web d()()ds, including myself, use perl for one good reason:
It's so damn easy to do anything with a bit of text. Manipulation of input and output,
and adding HTML tags easily is quite important for a web front-end if you ask me. And
multi-level hashes kick butt :¬)
You can write a faster C program, but you can write a perl script faster
Am I off topic yet? :¬)
