Hi,

Before anything else I would like to say that I'm a Perl Programer, and that Perl is my elected language. I'm expecting Perl6, and code handreds of Perl lines every day.

However, I know also enought PHP to see that NOW, PHP have things where it beats Perl. Let's be realists:
  • PHP 5 object syntax is VERY good;
  • There are thousands of complete aplications in PHP, ready to use;
  • Almost every hosting solution suports PHP;
  • Everyone thinks PHP is easy to learn, so everyone try it.

On the other hand:
  • PHP don't have scope;
  • Most aplication are direct to the point, and most are not easy to adapt to a similar (but not equal) situation
  • Secutiry in PHP is weak
  • Almost all PHP newbies could be Perl newbies if it was Perl that everyone thoght it was simple
  • We are (all?) grateful it isn't, this way Perl code is more secure, more complete and more flexible

But, any way, I think we need more aplication written in Perl, specially ready to use aplications (specially for web, where We have very good resources/workbases, like ModPerl, Catalyst, Mason, and a lot of others).

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.
