PERL is one of the web's strongest programming languages for back-end database and form
manipulation. Although it does not spice up the web page itself, it can produce some
of the most articulate dynamic sites around.

We occasionally find a customer who needs a site with a LOT of information displayed in the
same format for every page of the site. For instance, an automobile website would want
each of its cars displayed identically, even though the specifications change with each
vehicle. To get around having to create static pages for each one of these cars, causing
many headaches for later updates, we keep all the information in a database and let PERL
build each page dynamically. If the data changes, so does the page.
