I second halfcount's opinion. It's a breeze if you know perl/C. Instead of hashes, they call them associative arrays, and once you know that, what else do you really need to know? :) PHP is a bit more integrated with HTML/webmindset, which can make some things easier. (I once found a whole php class for making adobe acrobat files in a webbrowser, which I thought was pretty nifty...)

    That's the influence of AWK showing.

    I came to perl after I could no longer live with the deficiencies of AWK. (Or GAWK, either).
