computing: software: Perl/PHP: Perl vs. PHP
Overview
Perl and PHP are often compared with each other, largely due to their mutual popularity for web site design. The general consensus seems to be that people use PHP because it was invented specifically for creating web pages, whereas Perl has a lot of other uses as well — or, in other words, people use PHP because they don't know any better, and people who know better use Perl.
Unfortunately, this apparently does nothing to prevent the use of PHP in such heavily-used, highly-developed applications as MediaWiki and Drupal.
