Re: Alternatives to CGI perl module

Ruben, thank you for your opinion. You have your own opinion and I have
mine, and that is what makes the Internet beautiful.

Take a look at your own website coinhangout.com. It is down right now. But
take a look at its google cache:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3Awww.coinhangout.com&oq=cache%3Awww.coinhangout.com&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i58.1525j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

click on View Source of that.

There you see that most of the page is perl code, in embperl wrappers. Just
a little HTML head and ending is HTML.

This is what I found to be typical of most pages.
