Are the web applications like verisign pay-flow, fedexGatewayDC written in perl?
If so, how do they work? All I know about scripting language like php and perl are for writting dynamic web content.

If you want to know what language those companies web applications are written in and how they work, you'll need to ask the people that wrote and maintain them. Sometimes you can tell what language was used by the url but that won't tell you anything about how they work.

Dynamic web content is only a small fraction of what you can do with Perl. PHP is the exact oppisite. It was designed for and is used almost exclusively for writting dynamic web content.
