in reply to Compare Perl vs PHP

PHP is a great thing for www design, coding and providing access to databases. it is rather simple, nice and not complicated.
But... All things PHP do could be provided with CGI.pm in perl. You even may think PHP is easier. But, again:
Want to be web designer/coder - learn PHP. Want to be programmer - learn Perl.

IMHO :)
