<grin>

i fully agree with all that's been said about choosing the right
language for portability, and good coding practice - i just wanted to
give an example of when/why i'd use perl (ok, so it wasn't a great
example!). if your main priority isn't of the webmaster (read: jack of
all trades) variety, and you intend to concentrate on serving pages from
databases php/mysql is a good choice (hang on - someone's already said
that :-). better stop _before_ i start rambling (again!).
