"Basically", yes. And I do mean "basically".
The languages have the same "basic" sort of syntax and you can make a perl
script look almost exactly like a PHP script and vice-versa.
However that means _only_ that it is easier to learn one after learning the
other.
The paradox is that Perl gurus

Perl to PHP is proving to be no big deal for me. I've only just started
looking at PHP 3 days ago, and am already generating production code. PHP
to Perl would most likely be a harder move since you'd have to add quite a
few new concepts to your knowledgebase.
In general, I'd have to say that PHP

Not quite. I prototyped the initial parser with a Perl program (pre
version 1), but the "suite" as you call i
i program in both PHP/Perl, and the concepts are
extremely similar...
granted, there are some similarities to C++,
but by far, the largest contributor to PHP's
language design has been Perl.

there are some very important differences between the two
languages that you need to keep your eyes open for,
thing
maybe for basics but in general no way, I think going the other way, from
Perl to PHP is a much easier transition.

No, you won't.
PHP is has very similar syntax to c/c++ and perl but the concepts are
extremely different.
