Note Submitter: mgoetze at mgoetze dot net ---- >> The biggest advantage of PHP over Perl is that PHP was designed for scripting for the web >> where Perl was designed to do a lot more and can because of this get very complicated. << Perl's declared design goal is to "make easy things easy, and make difficult things possible". >> The flexibility / complexity of Perl makes it easier to write code that another author / >> coder has a hard time reading. << Real Programmers can write Spaghetti Code in any language (including PHP). >> PHP is easier to integrate into existing HTML than Perl. << This has been falsified by the advent of Mason.
