Hi, Perl and PHP are often targeted on the internet. It's sad and unfortunate, but it's the reality of things. When I use to work for a web hosting company, we'd constantly have to deal with crackers and script kiddies hijacking customer websites. In many cases, poorly written perl or php code was to blame. The worst part is that most of the code people use comes from other sites that have pre-packaged forums, ordering systems, mailing list etc. So I think we'll be upgrading and patching(once 11 comes out) the web stack on a regular basis. But at the same time, it would provide a lot of value to customers in the web space.
