Heperis, perl is a scripting language. There are several perl forums around - are you reffering to a specific forum?

Re the comments on flashy hi tech sites, I hate them more than ever now. My connection spreed remains at 28.8K making sites with long downloads a pain but now I tend to be running Linux and a Java version of Netscape which doesn't have the same plug in, etc support as the Windows version... I have to be pretty well convinced that I want to see the content before I load Windows and IE to view a site I can't view on this version of Netscape...

I may be wrong but I get the feeling that in this thread there may have been some confusion between hi-tech-flashy-use-the-lastest-most-dazzling... sites and sites with a reasonable degree of complexity. The 2 don't have to go together. Mudcat is a good example of a site that uses more than HTML to achieve what it does but avoids all the gimmics...
