One man's perl is another man's headache. beeng using perl for six years and i have trouble understanding what other people wrote with it and vice verce. not so with PHP. and what ever the module you find on CPAN you will find an equivalent or similar in PHP as well.
And finally on java, if your collegues think java is ideal for web applications they are zealots indeed!
all the best

I am looking for a comparison of features supported by PHP vs those supported by Perl.
My gut tells me PHP is more robust, but we are trying to implement something in a company that has long had a standard allowing Perl as a "sanctioned" language, but current management does not want to fight for PHP as a new "sanctioned" language (most managers there have never heard of PHP and the resident Java zealots have almost established a monopoly). The kind of thing I am looking for is SESSION support, I know it's supported by PHP, but not sure about Perl. I don't want to have to grow my own session manager. One alternative is mainframe COBOL, which clearly will not support what we want to do.
What would I lose by implementing in Perl (other than my mind)?
thanks in advance,
