Perl

I am a beginner PHP programmer (I am learning the language simply because I am attempting to translate a Perl script bundle into the three most common CGI languages on the internet... Perl, PHP and ASP.
PHP and Perl arn't really all that different, similar syntax and environment, even some similar (if not identical) functinos, Larry Wall (the "inventor of Perl) isn't going to like that ^^. I just can't really get cookies or any paramaters (you know, like from form fields) to work for me...
WARNING!: If you arn't in the mood for reading a long "paragraph" where I do nothing but boast about my "mad" programming skills (in Perl,
, obviously) and try to sell you stuff (okay, maybe not, it wouldn't hurt though) you might as well hit the "back" button on your browser window now, 'cause once I start, I don't shut-up. I HAVE GIVEN YOU FAIR WARNING!
My bundle so far includes a message board, hit counter (graphical or textbased), guestbook, poll script and another script that ties (literal, not functional) them all together as one massive program. The main script is required to run the others... but these "add-ons" come seperately and incorporate my "own language" which will allow different CGI versions to compile (after the first time, they stay compiled) from one single file. Also I have built-in a self-install feature for licensed (yes, I've already sold the Perl version) add-ons.
