I was reading an article in Dr Dobb’s Journal on the way to work this morning about Tiny Perl Server Pages. I have never heard of Tiny Perl Server Pages before and I couldn’t understand why everything in the article seemed to be familiar. I was about half-way through this when I realised why it didn’t seem new: we have implemented a system that works in an similar way to this one.

It made me wonder if all across the world companies that use Perl for building web based applications are all busy writing the same thing.
