I have an opinion. It is my opinion.
PHP has perl beat hands down, in my opinion. Other people will differ
with me.
Perl is too feature rich, and the syntax can be puzzling. I've been able
to modify perl scripts, but creating other than simple ones is still a
chore.
PHP runs quickly and has a very clear syntax. In my opinion its great
strength is the fact it has so few "features." It can do anything with
databases and calculation and strings, however. It may be a bit more
wordy than perl, but it tends to keep with my motto : "eschew
obsfucation"
