the point of Perl

I should mention - the reason I'm trying to familiarize myself with Perl is because I'm hoping to get a toy LAMPP server going to run some experiments.

In the early 2000's I had an XAMPP install and learned a lot about Apache, PHP, SQL, and all that other good stuff. It was super useful and that knowledge allowed me to run a server in the lab I used to work in for data storage and general web stuff (wiki, image hosting, light PHP scripts for various things).

Re-familiarizing myself with that stuff wouldn't hurt, and it might come in handy in the near future.

I don't have a PC anymore to run it. Hopefully I can get away with doing it on my netbook. The netbook is on paper twice as fast as my old web server.
