I am majoring in computer science, and there is this perl/cgi class I might take. I wrote an email to the instructor of the class. I told him I program in C++ and currently taking assembly language for the IA-32 processor, and how can his class help me, what will I be able to do with perl that I can't do with C++? I know perl is an easier language, What i didn't like about it, it's an interpreted language. So i can't make a file and send it to someone to use it, with out sending them the perl interpreter also. But then I found wxPerl which is a win32 RAD enviorment for perl, so that's kind of cool. I am pretty sure it's just a translator for perl and converts the code to asm then down to machine code.
I went way off track, back to point. CGI, what exactly is it? I know it's for webservers, and how is php different than CGI? I know with php you can get data from the user and store it on servers and things along those lines.
