Depends on the POV. If you're a programmer, sure Perl gives you better tools, if you're not biased. If you're just a wannawebpage newbie, things like lexical scoping with my, closures, map, grep, contexts and alike are things you can't imagine to be useful. You just want HTML escaping, mysql (and all other supported database drivers) all other tools you use stuffed right into the namespace of your mywebpage.php4.

Sure PHP has bigger usages and *is* and *can* be professionally used. But in my view that's neither the majority nor the part that started this hype.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
