If you will excuse my ignorance. I have no immediate need for this, but
have often asked what the pros/cons there are writing a WEB based

Thanks

Bob,
Ok, so you don't want info on databases, but on which language to
use to build a web site? You must sit down and determine what the site will
be used for and what features you *must have* in your website. Find a
website out there that has the features and style you're looking for. For
example, do you want to build something like a Yahoo (page mode), or a
store front like an Amazon (web application)? Once you know what type of
web site you want to build, you can better determine what tools to use. For
web applications (Amazon) take a look at Ajax applications. For plain page
driven web sites look at PHP.
Perl is more of a do everything type of language that can be used
for writing applications as well as web pages, whereas PHP is more stripped
down for speed and is intended for building web pages. You will get faster
performance from PHP and is quite popular for building web sites.
