Can anyone give a description of what each of the following launguages are used for. I know what Java and C are used for (but not in the context of a website) and I know that PHP and CGI can do the same, but php is better to use because it is compatable with alot of databases.

1) What is perl used for?
2) What is ASP used for?

Drew,

Perl is a scripting language very similar to PHP & CGI. It was probably the language used before PHP came into the picture.

ASP is the Microsoft version of a scripting web language. It works like Perl, PHP & CGI. The only difference is that it works well on IIS web servers.

CGI is not a language, its an interface, an interface that EVERYTHING web related uses. Its the common gateway interface.
