EmbPerl, PHP

[Robert Locke]

Hi,

Can anyone point me towards any good resources comparing EmbPerl, PHP,
etc.?

Or better yet, does anyone have any real world stories about the
merits of each in terms of performance, memory consumption, bugs, etc?

On an unrelated note, any recommendations for a plotting package to
generate dynamic bar/line graphs and pie charts?  I found one called
VH Graph (commercial) for PHP that seemed pretty cool in case anyone's
interested:

Thanks!
