Those fuckers.

I just checked the AWS console for Lambda supported runtimes and perl's not listed, so it's clearly a poor replacement for CGI... :P

What? You could run CGIs without being responsible for the hardware or operating system. I should know, because at the time I worked at a web-hosting company where we had customers supply their own CGI scripts while we maintained the hardware and OS.

I mean, yes but it's also CGI where you don't have to be responsible for maintaining the hardware or the operating system, which is a pretty big win over the first period of the CGI Era...
