PHP is a server side language that is easy and intuitive to add to HTML templates. The database connectivity is very smooth. It was designed with web pages and cgi in mind.
Perl is an extremely powerful, multi-talented tool that is often described as a Swiss Army Knife. You can create embedded perl, you can create server side perl. It's not as easy to set up the first few times as PHP is. I've developed large sites with both. And there are times when I'm on a PHP site and I wish for things in perl (foreach and perlmagick and mirror from LWP::Simple) and there are times when I'm on a perl site when I miss PHP (ease of working within HTML. I go nuts every time I do a print >> EOF) Learn them both, enjoy them both. And death to ASP :-) Lara --------------------- Lara J.
