Re^2: The REAL reason for why they choose PHP over Perl.

Instructors, particularly College profs, don't have any real work to do, so they get bored easily. They often have short attention spans anyway.

As somebody who used to work in a university I have a rather large urge to call bullshit on that statement :-)

Seems that way on the ones that I'm familiar with. Most of them stopped being objective or effective when they began to get paid by a college, instead of needing to produce usable products in a competitive environment.

This is certainly not true of all profs, but it does seem to be prevelant.
