I think it's ideal because it is so good at doing other things as well. Like it came up in the meet, if you have a web app a puny language like PHP may be usable at first and appear a good solution. But as soon as your app grows you're going to end up doing more and more admin scripting to manage the data and other parts. Certainly nothing will beat perl at this. I've seen people try to use PHP for syadmin, it's just not cut out for it. So you're better off using Perl for everything rather than a PHP (or whatever) front end with Perl, etc, in the background. Perl wasn't specifically designed for web frameworks, but like a lot of other things it does the job very well, and in my opinion is the best solution :) Lyle _______________________________________________ BristolBathPM mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.bristolbath.org/mailman/listinfo/bristolbathpm
