LinkLib: Programming: Perl
Perl is somewhat of a cult language -- it has given up beauty to be
extremely useful. It's interpretive nature makes it very portable,
and it has become the number one language for CGI. However, it is
also very useful for writing any number of quick little programs
and is useful for a lot of sysadmin tasks. However, my choice would
be PHP for the server (CGI) side.
If you really want to be a Perl guru, buy the O'Reilly Perl CD Bookshelf,
6 of the top books on CD and one on paper.
