I can see where you're going with the whole `perl needs money behind it' but i don't think that you've gone the right way about it had you said that `Perl needs some more companies to pay developers to work on perl core', or ``gee, it'd be nifty if we could get a company to sponsor a couple of coders to do some more of that great work on perl6'' you'd have gotten horah's instead the hate from the zealots.

PHP is good for generating small websites, and nothing more. you can Template with it, and reuse external code and coding standards to stretch that. But it won't scale too well.

I can see that php has been able to grow quickly due to the money, but i'd still have to say that perl is a still more pleasing to write -personally and I'm allowed to payout php, because I've done the suck it and see, and it was salty, and just made me feel a little dirty.

PHP reminds me of the Turbo Pascal that I learnt at Highschool, it's great to teach you how to do basic webdevelopment, but there comes a point when the langauge stops serving you, and you start serving it. Doing it's administration, using it's long Array constructors, and generally running into syntactic pains (like array_key_exists et. al.)

will: do{ perl programing } for ($cash);

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
