I'm doing a bit of Perl/cgi dev and Perl learning (simultaneously) and I'm running into a few bits of trouble. Where would I get help? Can anyone suggest a forum that has many active Perl users? Does GameDev have any Perl users? Thanks!

I don't think that there are many perl people here, though there are a bunch of them probably. If you want lots of 'em, try http://www.webdeveloper.com/

Hey, i know perl !?

Perl is best at text parsing and sysadmin functions though. For webdev, there certainly better alternatives. Perl was not designed with the web in mind.

Unfortunately, the host I am using (my university) does not offer ASP/SSI/PHP.
So I am learning Perl. I used it to run a few system tasks, but am using it for web dev like an online voting system. It works...
