I would guestimate that somewhere between 70-90% of it's use is for CGI scripting,Most of us that have to make a living providing support services to the Perl community at large put that more down at the 40% mark. It just seems higher because CGI is much more complex than it first appears, and is usually undertaken by people who are light-duty or non- programmers, and therefore show up more in forums trying to get help. But many people I know have been hacking Perl heavily for years and have never even put up their first CGI program. Of course, "how do I access a DB?" is a question that is valid whether or not you're in a CGI space, so maybe you've miscategorized some questions. {shrug} -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker In reply to Percent of Perl used for CGI - lower than that
