>like it or not, not many do the Perl thing any more
Who are you refering to by **many**. You have statistics? Perl powers more
web sites/servers than any other language. You just don't hear about it as
much since it's an open source technology and they don't have the money,
will, and reason to advertise it in commercial magazines and tv commercials.
I can't disclose, but I work for one of the "Big Three", (for those who
don't know Ford/GM/Chrysler) and over 90 percent of all intranet
applications (and there are thousands) and internet applications are written
in Perl. Java does not even account for 1% of all development. See way
more .cgi scripts all over the web then .php3|4, .jsp, .asp, etc...

Huh? Are you just talking about at your own shop... I know very few
people who write PHP any longer and far many more who still "do the Perl
thing", personally.
I totally agree with Brett, I would just write it all in Perl and forget
about mixing the 2 languages... unless of course someone over you
dictates
something else.
