| | Now I've always wanted to make a web game. Now I have time. I keep getting suggested both php and perl. I know alot about php and stuff. but I hardly know anything about perl .So what would (if anything) make perl better than php when programming a web game? |

Either perl or php is good enough for a web game. Whichever language you're most comfortable with is the best language to use. Good luck.

Another deciding factor is how your webhost handles each. The one I currently use, Tripod, only allows CGI. I wouldn't use it to make a game, however, because they will only run a script for a couple seconds. Hunt around for games made in both to base your decision off of. To see what CGI is capacble of, check out Lunatix Online: http://www.lunatix-online.com/ .

PHP is mostly supported by webhosts so I would suggest php in place of perl but then if you get a host that supports perl then its cool too.

Mainly there's no difference between Perl and PHP, due to the fact that both are server-side scripting languages. The main feature of PHP is his high portability, this means that PHP could be used for a lot of things (eg. SQL); Perl is mainly used FSO (For Scripting Only) . Anyway, I had lot of fun programming in Perl and I really love it as a scripting language. So, my final suggestion is: Perl for life  If you need help, feel free to contact me at: gengarel <at> cs.unibo.it

Perl Interactive Mode
(2) I am kind of wondering why for some reason, Perl does not have an interactive mode in its parser
like Pythong does in its. Also, Python comes pre-packaged with a GUI like parser and it is written
in Python\Tk (I think that's what its called). I know that Perl has Perl\Tk, and I
know it has an eval function. Why is there no interactive parser like that. I think I could come up
with one. Anybody, wanna see if we can build a interactive module like the Python one?....
