in reply to mod_perl: Is it so necessary?

you wrote: Also, I would like to know if the CGI/PERL combination is so inadequate, why would anyone be spending any time developing in it?
Immagine you have to run the script with a different UID from that of the web server: a cgi script can be run suid,
instead a mod_perl script runs inside the httpd process with the same UID.

an other reason could be portability: cgi run almost everywhere, if you don't control the server where your script run maybe your oly choice is cgi.
