ASP and PHP aren't CGI...they're server-parsed page tools. CGI programs are written in pretty much any language, and are executed as a program on the server. Perl is a popular server-side scripting language, and is a worthy language to learn. If you're interested, Perl6 is in the works as a major rewrite to make it better... http://www.perl.org
PHP4 is better to learn than ASP - it's cross-platform compatible, and more hosting providers are likely to support it. It has excellent database support, and a fantastic manual.
