I have to admit your job link looks fancy. :-) But even that is a flash movie, not PhP.

I think the problem with relying on premade PhP solutions for everything, is you get hooked on it's ease of use; then when you need to do something unique, you don't have the skills anymore. Also, what if you need to do a real socket connection, with your own gui, with no web server..... can PhP do it?

Perl is a more generalized tool. And yes, from a business sense it pays to use mass-production code, but it becomes analagous to eating at McDonalds rather than a "made from scratch" restaurant...... like a mom-and-pop diner or a 4-star establishment.

I already lament seeing the same cute looking pages on everyone's site..... just like I'm tired of eating at McDonalds.

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum
