Perl's a pretty cool language, easy to learn and such, but it's slow; if
you're concerned with performance, you might want to write the cgi in C.

Playing with mySQL has been a load of fun.  Perl::DBI is a package written
specifically for database interfaces, and it'll do mysql, msql, oracle,
and maybe a few others.
