Perl is the only way to go for serious CGI scripts. It’s so powerful, Python is limited and clunky by comparison. And a new language with syntactically important whitespace? Seriously? It will never displace Perl!

Eh, maybe. well, nice talking. I'm going to go back to writing CFML. My boss bought a bunch of licenses with our last funding round, so I have to use it. I don't think it's going to make it any easier to write our reverse auction site for pet food discount coupons (don't tell anybody - we're still in stealth,) but whatever.
