Client-Side scripting ??

| Hello,
I always thought Perl is a server side scripting thing. Now I got told it is client side!
What is true now?
Thanks!

Perl is often used for CGI scripts-- scripts that run on web servers to process forms, site counters, web-based e-mail, electronic cards, etc.
Client-side scripts run not on the web server, but on the client. (Javascript being interpreted by the web browser, for example.)
Hope that helps a bit...

| Thanks for the information. That's what I had always assumed. I just got confused when getting different responses from more than one source!
Great!
Have a nice day!
