Basically because I don't like PHP and I like (and more importantly - know) Perl. > Do you care if your system binaries are written in C vs C++? No, but 1) they're compiled languages and 2) they're not that dissimilar (and I know them both :-) > I always wonder what people really mean when they say things like > that--especially in this sort of context.

I don't know why, and it could quite easily just be me, but I've had a lot of issues with getting PHP sites to work (eg. imp and phpGW) At the end of the day, though, PHP vs Perl (vs Python), VI vs Emacs, C vs C++, BSD vs Linux, etc., etc., etc. They're all the same - boooooring. As a geek I have a million and one better things to do than argue why one tool is better than another. I have my opinions, but they're mine and not anyone elses. I do, however, find it rather amusing to see how easily my fellow geeks can be reduced to squabbling children. Not in this forum, though. Nosir. :-) Matthew -- GIT/CM d+(-) s++:- a-->?
