If you are confortable with Perl CGI you may want to have a look into PHP as
well.
Kinda new kid on the block, but growing fast, and open source.
Check these sites for the Pros and Cons :

and query Google.com on JSP ASP PHP for more.

Subject: Technology Question
Hello,
I have been talking (lightly) with some others within our
organization about
different web technologies. I currently am a CGI.pm user and know it
pretty
well. But I am getting the impression that technologies such as JSP
and ASP,
are more efficient. In conversation, I believe I am hearing that
those two
technologies are more robust, because they do NOT start a new
instance of my
perl/cgi script each time the user submits back to the server? Is
this
correct? And if that is so, do those technologies allow the ability
to hold
variables across sessions? I will try and better summarize that last
sentence. Does it mean that one does NOT have to hold state (hold
variables)
with text files, dbms, etc? Because if that is the case, it appears
that it
would be much more efficient, and create a much faster, secure and
better
way than writing CGI type scripts. If I have my facts clear, could
someone
let me know, or tell me if I am missing something?
Sincerely,
Scott Purcell
