I'll give you two points of view that you can include it, I started with Perl for more than 10 years since the beginning the problem was the documentation, my native language is not English and understand things in complicated technical English is by far a terrible headache, the documentation is only in technical English as well as books :-(, there are concepts that after several years I realized what it meant.

On the other hand PHP is a language designed for web, where every day they incorporate more and more modules in their official API?, Instead this Perl replace, or we replace, it with CPAN and CPAN is the union of several single individual developers and this is prone to have errors, how many times you wanted to do something fast and you lose 10 hours by a bug in some package that wasn't documented or poorly documented.

Please don't confuse, i don't said that CPAN is bad, not please, i said that PHP has oficial "modules" with more control becouse in general they use an inplementation of popular software with several years in the market

Exists to much to discuss, but I consider important it, because Perl6 follows the same line :-(.

Cheers!.
