[MacPerl] Questions from a CGI newbie

[Mike <mikehamm@earthlink.net>]

Hello,

I'm webmaster for a commercial site and we are looking to upgrade it to
include a site-specific search engine and possibly on-line ordering.

However, I have no programming experience except for html; I've always
used a Mac and don't know UNIX etc.  I'm told the server at my provider
(which uses Perl), Best Internet, is UNIX and won't work properly with
MacPerl-generated scripts. 

Would this be true?

How long do you think it would take a reasonably diligint person with
*no* programming experience to learn the CGI language?

Lastly, what are reasonable charges for installing a search form and a
ordering form/shopping cart for a site with about 80 products?

I appreciate any and all comments.
