Perl offers immense power, and some really quite excellent modules. However, it's hard to use, a bit slow, and was never developed for the Internet.
PHP however was. It's also fast, very easy to learn and intergrates with Apache and HTML very well. It also boasts Internet-specific functions, such as striptags(). On the other hand, it doesn't quite have the same power as perl and it may be complex and difficult to build very powerful web apps.
It's about time we had a debate. I want at least one zealot for each side!

I didn't give Perl much of a chance, as I bought the Perl book just to learn it for using on the Internet, and the book didn't help me much. I didn't fine Perl easy to understand and found it hard to make even basic Scripts, so for now, thumbs down for Perl on the Internet.
PHP, however, I'm getting to grips with, and have done pretty easily since the begining. I bought a book, had a read through it and kinda understood how it worked, so did some of the examples and played about with it on my Freeola Web Space, and have to say I'm finding it a hell of a lot easier and better to create something on the Internet. But, seeing as it was designed for the net, I guess it has that advantage over Perl.
So, in my view, PHP is far better for that tasks which I wish to do :o).
Even though this isn't mention in Robs post, could someone in the know also add some stuff on ASP. How much different (if at all) is it to PHP and Perl.

Great.
I must say, you did take that rather well :) Usually people get really stroppy and give me a load crap about not being scared of me blah blah blah. In the end it just gives me more ammo!

Thank you.
Go away, please, otherwise I'll be forced to ridicule you.
