While it may be faster under some circumstances I would not say it's

PHP is a good templating language, similar to ASP, JSP, etc.
The problem with templating languages is that they're too good. It's
always tempting for the programmer to introduce yet another small piece
of logic into a page.
It extremely difficult with these templating languages to abstract the

Is this true? Are there other advantages to PHP over PERL?
I guess PHP is a little simpler.
Jenda
yes, yes!, I think so: i've worked with PHP and it is (very) simpler.
but my idea is that you can make more with perl.

No gui programming. I think it's used more for logic than anything
else. Not really for string manipulation. It's hard to explain
because the program is so huge, no one person really knows everything
about it. It seems to be more for extending the programs functionality

There are some difference details between them.If you really want to
know it,you may first need to see what's mod_perl and how it
works.Take a look at:
mod_perl official documents:
