There is nothing terrible about PHP, and if you like it you should feel free to use it. However,
1. More large sites run on Perl than on PHP. Amazon.com, CitySearch.com, Ticketmaster.com, IMDB.com all run Perl. Yahoo uses some PHP, but they also use Perl, and pretty much everything else.
2. More good programmers use Perl. PHP doesn't have the same culture around things like unit testing, separation of application from interface (with MVC and templates), and reusable code (CPAN) that Perl does.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
