what cgi language should i learn?

hi i want to learn a cgi laguage but i dont know witch one to learn can you please suggest names, i want a flexible and powerful one thanx

Perl

I second Perl. Although I don't think there is a difference between a CGI language and a normal language, as CGI just redirects Standard Input and Standard Output.

Agreed, Josh. CGI isn't really a language, it just a server technology that works with HTML Forms. And though you can create your CGI scripts in several languages, you should use Perl. It's better. :P

Unless you are feeling gutsy, in which case: Rex.

Yeah, Perl is the most common.

Here is a tutorial to get you starte with CGI: http://www.cgi101.com/class

Hope that helps! :D

If you need any help with Perl, my favorite place is Perl Monks.

I have to agree with everyone else Perl would be best to start with.. :)

i think that the best is the one u feel more comfortable with.
also vb is popular.
perl is the most common but c is quite faster

I've heard that mod_perl makes this not as applicable.
