No, I think you are thinking of ASP, where you can pick and choose which
language to use (VBScript, JScript, PerlScript, etc.). PHP is a language
which is very similar to Perl in many respects, but probably closer to C
than Perl is, and can do less than Perl and C can; it is geared almost
exclusively to doing dynamic web page generation, and has builtin hooks for
database access.
