Cool, I should try that out.

btw:I am not so great, I know *nothing*. Just have lots of opinions.

  Speed (which may not be all that much of an advantage) and size (Perl and
PHP are both huge).  It also doesn't hurt if you have a library to help with
the CGI side of things (and I do---been in constant development since 1996).
It even includes a templating system [1][2].  It's also about 24k of
compiled code, which today isn't all that large at all.

  Of course, it helps to know C when using the code. [4]

  -spc (And it's GNU GPLed too!  Although the documentation is a bit
        lacking ... )

[1]     Well, not quite yet as the code has finally stabalized to a point
        where I can consider adding it to the base library.

[2]     It's a simple templating system that has the benefit [3] that it is
        impossible to include program code in the templates.

[3]     At least, *I* consider it a benefit.

[4]     No buffer overflows that I've been able to find---string and file
        manipuation have been abstracted and it's very rare that I actually
        have to deal with a character buffer directly.
