Do you use CGI or Perl?

CannonBallGuy

Just wondering who uses these since this forum is always quiet.

If you do use either, let us know what for.

Python

I used to use CGI but since then ive learnt PHP and I found that PHP is much more powerful and versatile.

So now I never use CGI.

Note that CGI is not Perl. CGI is simply an interface for a program to communicate with the web server. That program could Perl, PHP, Ruby, C, C++, Visual Basic, Python... Anything.

So as per the question: I use Ruby and thus I use CGI. There is mod_ruby for Apache (as there is mod_perl and mod_php), but I don't think it is actively developed any longer. And now with FastCGI, the speed isn't an issue anymore.

I don't use cgi / perl that much. I am not professional at this language however, I use sometime. But its hard for me.
