Perl or PHP

isit better to make websites in Perl or PHP? how do you start a .pl web document?

You need to put the path to Perl I believe. Depends on your personal preference, some people prefer PHP, some Perl.

I think Perl is a little old now though, so personally I would say PHP.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT

is that the path?

depends on your level of familiarity with both languages, if you know neither of them, go with PHP, its considerably easier to learn.

if you already know perl, then its easier to just run with perl for webapps than to learn php.
