These pages offer some history, code snippets, etc for some of my favourite languages.

perl		php
Perl. My favourite language. If you can't do it in perl, you can't do it at all. Perl is my preferred language for building web applications and other small programs.		I tend to think of PHP as more of a higher level language than perl, mostly due to all the built in functions that do the stuff for you. Still, a useful language to know.
