Apache Web Server Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since April of 1996. The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and extensible server which provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards. Perl Perl is a language optimized for scanning arbitrary text files, extracting information from those text files, and printing reports based on that information. It's also a good language for many system management tasks. Expression syntax corresponds quite closely to C expression syntax.
Recursion is of unlimited depth.
Perl uses sophisticated pattern matching techniques to scan large amounts of data very quickly. Although optimized for scanning text, Perl can also deal with binary data, and can make dbm files look like hashes. Setuid Perl scripts are safer than C programs through a dataflow tracing mechanism which prevents many stupid security holes. Java With most programming langauges, you either compile or interpret a program so that you can run it on your computer. The Java programming language is unusual in that a program is both compiled and interpreted.
