Very useful advice, many thanks. Looks like I should go the

route anyway then. It might be less hassle in the long run. I'll do some
more checking but I understand that PHP especially is completely portable.
Same problem with php or python ( mod_php / mod_python ), your interpreter is
wedded to your webserver. ( you can use fastcgi with both of these though ).
( php is hateful language though >:) )
Ruby on Rails is supposedly the other cool thing for doing websites these days.
Do what you feel comfortable with. I was just trying to point out what all the
Perl web development people I mix with are doing ( and a lot of them are running
scary big deployments ).
Personally I'm using lighttpd ( lighty ) and fastcgi with a couple of Perl apps
( one of which is using a MySQL db backend ).
