I like reading old Perl code. It's much more interesting than the Javascript code that displays stupid YouTwitFace plugins.

BTW, is this kind of specialised fork-exec code that writes back HTML code to the parent process still in use?

Yes, but is most likely found in intranet situations. As others have noted, commercial offerings typically use an application server style approach, as that greatly contributes to being able to scale.

However, not everything has to scale ;-).
