Let me add my own $0.02; I've been writing a fair amount of
perl lately in doing WWW support.

IMHO, perl rots.

I'd give a fairly important segment of my anatomy for an http
server written in Ada, supporting cgi invokable functions also
in Ada.  Ideally, it would contain or use a small, fast ERA
database for lightweight hypertext structures.
