Hi all, Having spoken to consultants/teachers that I know, their experience matches my own.
When teaching, they prefer PHP. When programming they prefer Perl. It's basically horses for courses. I use PHP for what it's always been designed for which is creating dynamic web content. For application development (batch, console, complex CGI etc) I use Perl. The big advantage here is that wil PostgreSQL being the back end I can easily combine both languages in a project as appropriate.
