I must disagree. Perl is, for it's purpose, superior in language design and functionality. If there is a function to do somthing in PHP, there is a module on cpan for perl to do the same-- and more.

So true. I don't want to push my beliefs onto other people, but it is valid that you both have your languages you like, and that's what makes PSC special!
