the World is LARGE. There is enough elbow room for any language :-) .
Though it would be nice to hear that some day we will have a REAL Perl compiler (Just like C++, etc...). Not just a stuff like PAR, Perl2Exe or others, but the real one. This would make Perl even more wanted and powerfull. Does anybody here know any project on this ??? I hope this is not just a day-dream...

Mark, you have ONE 100,000 line perl procedure? Geesh, ever thought about dividing that puppy up into modules? =)Friend of mine on efnet #php just informed me that he has written and IRC bot that is about 10,000 lines of PHP code. Not too bad. Sure, PHP is a baby perl. But remember, perl used to be a baby too. The point is that Perl 5 is a mature scripting language now. PHP is still in flux. Python and Ruby are also out there. Perl 6 is in orbit somewhere outside of Pluto.
