While it may be faster under some circumstances I would not say it's 
more powerfull. The number of modules for Perl is definitely much 
bigger than for PHP. Plus PHP is only supposed to be used from Web, 
while Perl is a general purpose language. Actually I do not remember 
when was the last time I did use it for web.

I guess PHP is a little simpler.
