I have not yet tried to learn PHP, although I have learned lots of good things about it. I am just starting out with Perl, but learning my way around pretty quickly. Based on what I think I know about what I am going to be able to do with Perl in terms of generating truckloads of dynamic pages once I get my library of HTML tags (and maybe a Javascript library too) going, I gotta wonder why anyone would want to start creating standalone web pages (that would have to be updated individually) if there were an alternative (i.e. dynamicaly generated pages with Perl)? Just my two cents.
