I can accept "some", but "many" is a bit strong. I know *many* people who
have *never* written a CGI app in Perl, and yet are quite versed in Perl.
Heck, I was even in that camp for the first half dozen years of my Perl
experience.

This is also incorrect. CIWAC (comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi) certainly
covers this. I haven't poked my head in there lately, but it's definitely a
CGI group that is language agnostic.
