Web Portals

[vcherubini]

Hello:

All of my life I have been interested in the Internet and programming. One of the first websites that I ever went to was Yahoo.com and I was amazed at how it worked. Right now I understand how it works, sort of. It has always been a dream of mine to build a web portal in something like Perl or another language. My question is, what language(s) are portals such as Yahoo, Altavista or another of the huge ones programmed in? Whenever I search on one of the pages, it uses a file with an unknown extension to me. For example, when you use the Altavista translator, it uses a file called translate.dyn. I have never heard of a .dyn file. I just want to know what languages they use.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

In the server we can set up any kind of extension .

for example if iam using .pl extension i can modify my server to accept an extension .xxx which understands that its a perl.

When we look into the portals they handle many server side scripting languages.each language has its own strength
