I created my first website in 2000 using PERL and what I think was an <br>
early version of MySQL.<br>
<br>
Domains were $40 and hosting was around $25/mo or more.<br>
<br>
For a while I've been reading that PERL is dead. Is that not true? A <br>
quick search shows PERL is in a decline.<br>
<br>
Your Thoughts?<br>
