    Where does this notion that Perl and PHP are somehow related come from? (Okay I know that the first versions of PHP were actually written in Perl.)

      I thought that the basis of perl was that it was developed for a text formatting basis and was later developed for other uses. The main one still being text manipulation, hence its wide use of regex functions and its ability to utilise other languages.

      With PHP this is in a manner "the same" though dont quote me. Although its a much less rich language and is in primary designed for database and web fronted applications.

      Or am i wrong.
