PERL has more functionaltiy and is more robust. What are the technical arguments for one over the other?

Perl IMHO is a SysAdmin language and PHP is and more or less always will be a WEB lanaguage.
PLEASE, do not pigeon hole Perl like that, you should know better!
Calling Perl a systems language maybe, but not a SysAdmin language, Perl programmers everywhere are "rolling over in their graves and they aren't even dead yet" (Andrew Dice Clay, yeh I know, so shoot me, I watch a lot of movies)....
Helping sys admins with their mundane tasks more robustly than plain shell, Perl does very well, but its abilities certainly go well beyond these types of tasks.
I'll second that emotion :)
