As far as seo is concerned, is it preferable to have preferable to have site
of html pages or have perl template script is fine? If I am not mistake I
think I saw an article that mention degradation in google pr when using php
pages. I am not quiet sure why that should be the case as the sites are
being crawled anyway.


Thanks in advance

Bullshit. There is no such thing as html page or php page or perl page.

Is it html, php, perl

Doesn't matter. "content-type" matters, this is sent by the server to the
browser (or bot) in HTTP headers and that's how the content type is
recognized on the client side. And nothing else matters... (although I am
listening to Getz&Brubeck ATM).

Search engine spiders, like any user agent, see the content sent to
them. They have no way to know how that content was generated, whether
it was transferred straight out of a static file or whether it was
generated dynamically using CGI, PERL, PHP, ISAPI, JSP, ASP, ASP.NET, or
any other technology. What you read in the article is nonsense.

But Google does index these sites.

Also--why would Google penalize dynamically generated pages--the kind
served by nearly every major Web site in creation, including the ones
providing the most important information--and give preference to static
pages--the kind usually found on tiny do-it-yourself sites that
individuals create to display their photos and talk about their friends
and favorite foods and favorite TV shows, and that small businesses
create to announce their locations and business hours? It doesn't make
much sense when you think about it.

The problem is not in content nor dynamic pages generation, the problem
lies in URL forms. Some systems generate dynamic URLs, that are used to
remember sessions IDs, history of your clicks and so on. Such site may
look for the spider as inifinite, even if in fact there are only several
dfferent pages. This clutters index so Google (and other SE probably too)
tries to guess whether the site is 'dynamically created' and stops
spidering.

Also note that the term 'dynamically created' site is in fact meaningless.
If the content is generated by php script that analyses parameters passed
in url, but the same url gives always the same output - is the site
dynamically generated, or not?

You're talking about deterministic versus non-deterministic URLs.
Obviously non-deterministic URLs are only going to be useful for a
dynamic site, but it's not the dynamic nature itself that's the problem.
