No, just whenever I cruise the net I'm always surprised to see scripts ending in .asp or .jsp. I understand that some people prefer Java to Perl, but I know there are a lot of people out there who like perl. Which has made me wonder more then once if in a security through obscurity approach sites pass perl scripts off as ASP, etc. For instance, Ebay's servers are run by IBM (hence the big blue IBM logo on their sites). But all the forms like through to files ending in .dll. That doesn't make much sense to me, I would think IBM would run AIX / *nix servers for Ebay. > - *nix systems come with perl installed and use perl for lots of stuff, Perhaps I should have better said, why isn't it used more on the web? > - Perl is run as .cgi a lot of times so you may not notice it's Perl like you would > the other kinds. Yes, but ASP and JSP end scripts in .asp and .jsp respectively, which makes me wonder why I don't see less JSP and ASP tags.
