I want to ask what are the practical applications to use Perl? Perl CGI
scripts? But it can be done with ASP, JSP, and CGI is proven to be
slow. What are the best scenarios Perl should be the best choice?
ASP and JSP aren't exactly blazing speed champions, either.
In a web environment, CGI is indeed fairly slow. That's more of an
issue than Perl being slow. I once wrote a website, housed on a
single server, that could handle 4 million page hits per day; the
front-end (page generation) was entirely in OO Perl; the server was
Apache with FastCGI. And that was five years ago... perl 5.8 is
faster than perl 5.005, and hardware is of course faster nowadays.
