My personal experience with both PHP and Perl is somewhat limited in comparison with others who have already commented here. However I have found the Monastery community far more knowledgeable and ready to help than any of the PHP community’s I have had dealings with.

What PHP needs is a PHPMonks!
Or perhaps to be quite controversial perhaps PerlMonks is big enough to accommodate a section where other languages or technical issues could be discussed.
To my mind the resources available here namely the wealth of knowledge gained through years of experience (apparent from the CB) in all areas of IT that are within the Monastery walls are being under utilised. I for one would welcome the opportunity to be able to repay the help that I have been given here in areas that I am more competent in.
