The difference between compiled code and scripting languages is generally dwarfed by the difference between CGI and a more efficient server API (FastCGI, mod_perl, NSAPI, ISAPI, whatever). In the context of web server extensions, unless you care about absolutely blistering performance - in which case you won't be using CGI - it's usually best to use whatever language you are most familiar with and find most maintainable. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
