Having read a few things extolling the virtues of Pearl for writing cgi's I am interested in trying out MacPearl - I am running Webstar on a PowerPC. I am a bit confused however - some things I have read say that I will need a C compiler to use Pearl - while other don't mention anything about a C compiler . Can anybody help. If I do need a C compiler, are there which are shareware. Thank in anticipation.
