Hey, i had my m8 gav around yesterday and we ended up in a debate for like 3hours over which is the better language, php or perl. I figured seen as though these are tech discussion boards why dun we have this debate here. Please dont just say a is better than b give reasons and follow through on them etc.
My personnal opinion is although perl is capable of more serverside function than php, i do prefer php for its flexibility as a web language. I am aware both can support sql db's etc but i still feel that their are alot more options to the php developer than their are to the perl developer. Not only involving databases, but involving security aswell.
Your opinions...

PHP will eventually win out over Perl, as perl really a Dying language, much like Linux is dying since the release of OSX by Apple.
(Linux was supposed to be a GUI for Unix, and since OSX is the ultiment GUI for Unix, it succeeded where the Multiude of Linux offspring didn't)

We should keep in mind that perl was never originally intended to be a fully usable web language, that was just a conjured up aspect by the programmers. Who took the language to new boundaries.

This is an interesting topic but this thread is for security/tech info. Please use the general listings next time you wish to have a chit-chat. Thanks
