I have not used these, but Techi Warehouse has good tutorials, so try its Perl tutorials: http://techiwarehouse.com/cms/articles.php?cat=30 And there's always For Dummies books, those are always helpful. |

PERL is a server-side scripting language, and serves the same purpose as PHP, ASP, et cetera. It can deliver dynamic content to a client by interacting directly with the server. For example, one of the most common uses of server-side scripting languages is to process forms. So if you fill out a form about yourself (eg; age, gender, location) then PERL could take that information and give you a result, perhaps select your country's flag and display it. |

Perl from what I last heard is a scripting program of which can grab and utilize information placed on a 3rd-party text file. Mainly network administrators use it due to them just writing up a weekly or timely script on a text file (much like a cron job) and when they initialize the perl script, it grabs the information from the text file and does it's execution. Perl isn't used much for webdesign btw. |

1) PHP can do the same thing. I use PHP for all my cron scripts. 2) Ever hear of MovableType? :rolleyes: That's right, the #1 blog software in the world. Yeah. Perl. |

:rolleyes: I didn't state that it wasn't used at all for webdesign...just that it's not widely used or the first choice for a scripting language. And perl is mostly used by network admins due to it being easier to script and apparently has more functionality when it comes to this type of work (not sure what they do but thats what my friend says as he's a network administrator for the University of Wisconsin). |
