You forget whose house is right up the road, and whose house the
Plucker server is currently colocated within... Rasmus Lerdorf, author of
php. Not that he'll help me, but I can be annoying enough to get some of his
unique criticism when required, I think.
Seriously though, php is ideal for this over perl as much as I hate
to admit it. It does lend itself well to session handling and form
processing and very fast database access. All of which will be required
attributes for this system to work. Perl in this case would be much more
work for me to implement in the short term. Whatever makes the job easier.
Besides, I have a volunteer that knows php, and that's less work I
have to do actually coding it. I can get onto other things taking up my time
and burn through them. I make it a point never to turn down a contribution
or contributor.
