It was easy going that direction (Perl -> PHP) because the syntax is very similar. Frustrations of missing syntax I wanted, but nothing major new to learn. Coming back (PHP -> Perl) is much more frustrating, because of all the bad habits I've learned, and the sheer volume of built-in functions in PHP. In Perl, there's CPAN. In PHP, there's a built-in function for it. Been back at Perl for about a month, and feeling competent again.
