well there might be some misunderstanding due to the way i've been putting
it: php3 is very useful for webmasters *only*. i can't imagine what use
system administrators would make of the already included feature. but
speaking as a webmasters i have a lot more tasks in mind then programming.
therefor the learning-curve is vital for efficiency in my job. i may have
mistake the posting i was referring to: i thought, he'ld be web working,
too... in this case i can only repeat myself: it is extremely helpful to
use php AND perl, needing both might be a bit too much - in both
directions. in the end you simply can't compare both languages with each
other because they understand themselfs in a completely different way. perl
just isn't as easy and uncomplicated to use in web working as php and php
isn't even trying to cope with the tasks to be fulfilled by perl. and its a
beautiful thing that php is taking over the nice aspects of perl like re
and array functions - a makining them optional. (i've read a post in this
thread that php is getting more and more complex, losing it
easy-to-use-advantage)
btw: understanding is nothing black or white, i do roughly grasp what perl
is doing, but couldn't explain it to somebody else. i will certainly not
wait using Win32::ChangeNotify just because i don't know, how the desire
results are produced, i think thats the way most of the colleagues i know
think.
perl is utterly usless for at least 70% of my daily work, php covers 90% of
my requirements.
