Perl and CGI

Perl was one of the first programming languages used to implement CGI programs - that is, programs that run on the web server, and return data to the web browser. These days, many high-performance websites (including Slashdot and IMDB) use mod_perl instead of CGI. Perl can also be found managing the system administration tasks of webservers everywhere.
