Well the company we're going against is running some pretty big sites on perl (from what I understand). I've coded in perl before, and although I love it for what it can do for server processing tasks, it's a pain to code websites in it... and yet people do it...
Since we all understand what a bad idea it is to write web sites in perl as opposed to CF, can some people post some concrete arguments of why?

I " conceivably " run a lot of sites everyday 24/7 even ;) on cfmx7, apache, linux & mysql, hell it runs better than cfmx7, access/ ms sql, iis, faster too and is even cheaper too boot. I think you are looking at this backwards, maybe get someone to show you why perl would be a better choice for dev'n on because I'm not sure it could be done unless you are only gunna be writing command line functions. ~Dave the disruptor~ This bottle of lemonaid says "contains no lemon juice" and the can of Pledge says "contains real lemon juice" figures @%*((&% ---------------------------------------- From: "Russ" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 7:33 PM To: CF-Talk <[email protected]> Subject: RE: CF vs LAMP This was actually my original question... CF vs LAMP where the P stands for Perl. Can somebody provide some examples, please, of CF being better then Perl for web development.
