came across this from a late Nov-94 article in comp.infosystems.www.misc
the writer is one of the Web experts at CERN, where WWW was "invented"
first, someone else:
;|>The really nice advantage of using a UNIX sustem is that you get access to
;|>a full Perl5 implementation. If you intend to access databases then Perl5
;|>and the DBI interface is the very latest technology. The unix implementation
;|>is complete - no features or facilities are missing. The windows3.1 and amiga
;|>versions (perl 4 only) that I have used lack many of the features that
;|>are provided under UNIX.
now the CERN guy:
;Perl is not the ultimate language for developing Web servers. The most
;sophisticated server around is the Whitehouse publications one which
;runs on a symbolics machine running LISP.
YAY TEAM!
