 Does anybody know which is the technology behind Amazon?

If you look at their job listings, you'll see it's a lot of C/C++ and
Perl, with a smattering of other things, running on Unix.  That's pretty
typical of the really big sites.

Hi, any comments on Java Servlet, .NET, mod_Perl and others such as
ColdFusion ?  I personally was asked for such question a few days ago. The
other side needs a service like UPS.com. What do people on this mailing list
think about ?

There were a lot or perl coders when I was there for a short consulting
gig. Wonder if any of my perl code still survives...
