Many people use PERL and Python for web scripting. Python is more like C and Java than Perl, which makes it a little easier to learn. PERL is quite pwerful, but can be a pain in the rump to learn. PHP3 or PHP4 might be the best server-side scripting language if you want to do simple (or even complex) server-side processing. // Linh Pham // // Proud supporter of FreeBSD and OpenBSD // FreeBSD - http://www.freebsd.org // OpenBSD - http://www.openbsd.org /* "Oregon, n.: Eighty billion gallons of water with no place to go on Saturday night." */ On Tue, 18 Jul 2000, steinyv wrote: > At 07:47 PM 7/18/00 , you wrote: > > >It's PERL, not pearl :) > Goes to show how new I am. > > > > >As usual, O`Reilly has several books on PERL that might interest you.
