Chicken and egg problem. I have posted quite a bit about the pain of
migrating my skill set to PHP. And doing whatever I can do stop that
descent. That's what makes the news so "sad", as I posted originally.

Well, finding (good) developers is certainly an issue.
Here in NYC, it's very difficult to find proper Perl programmers as opposed to
dabblers and scripters.
One of the larger web sites here in the city was built by a great Perl guy, but
as they've grown and become successful, finding Perl talent has become a big
issue. I'm told that they're somewhere down the road to moving to PHP.

Sad news. Just saw a blog
http://www.highscalability.com/
that reports YouPorn.com switched from Perl to PHP. Apparently
there's a
reported 10% improvement in speed, but I haven't noticed :).
I think the bigger factor in the speed improvement is probably to do
with switching from MySQL to Redis
Yeah, so there should be other reasons for passing from Perl to PHP.
What could be?
