in thread The REAL reason for why they choose PHP over Perl.

Hm. Most of your points seem to come from an incomplete understanding of Perl. Let me address a couple of big ones:

PHP does have some advantages over Perl for certain applications: for example, mod_php is ubiquitously available from inexpensive virtual-hosting providers compared to mod_perl. It is certainly worth comparing the languages in terms of when each is the best choice.

However, to simply assert that PHP is a better language than Perl is naive. Specifically, the justifications for that assertion that you supply above are ill-concieved.
