What you must realise is that everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Arguing about which programming language is a waste of time, because one should use the right tool for the job, and not whatever is "cool".
Sure, I advocate Perl. I discourage PHP use. I say that Python and Ruby are also useful. That's just my opinion, and I'm pretty sure I could be wrong. For what it's worth, maybe Perl is actually Ierl(Impractical Extraction and Report Language), and I'm wasting my time with my trivial little hacks.
Who knows?

At least you won't see me using a 2-claw hammer(in my opinion, that's PHP) to hit a nail into a wall anytime soon, or using a pile-driver(Assembly of some flavour) for that, either.
