I was told different by alot of people, that some functions in PHP cannot be done in Perl, unless hardcoded into a Perl Module
Firstly anything that you can do in PHP you can do in Perl, but that goes for pretty much any other language (concerning APIs a least). Secondly, yes, the functions in PHP will be 'hardcoded' in Perl modules, but this isn't all that different from how PHP is structured since it's just a series of modules all compiled into a single binary (be it executable or module, statically or dynamically linked). So really this is something of an apples and oranges situation.

As far as I see it, perl has every advantage over php. I find php easier to use for webpages (just drop it in to the page you want) and it seems to be much faster. However as BUU put it, you end up reinventing the wheel beyond basic functionality.
