vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Anyone program in PERL and use the PHP forums?

I'm a PERL programmer/scripter at heart. It's what I learned, and what I use. After writing my own forums many moons ago it seems, I switched to VB because of it's track record with large sites. As my sites grew and grew, I needed something proven.

Trust me, Glad I have it.

As for the rest of the site... front page, etc... I'm just not a PHP programmer.

Anyhow. I really looked into the vb database, how cookies are read, verified, etc, and wrote my own PERL module so I could combine the two.

Now I can verify a user, usergroup, login and logout, and even set cookies all in my PERL code and interact with the vb database.

Am I the only nut who does stuff like this or are there others that do the same thing?
