Yah, well ... No, fine!
Beginnings are always somewhat slow. There's something that's been going
through my mind, though: perl vs PHP.

Being a permanent "perl beginner", I haven't had much time to penetrate
the language very deeply, never mind investigating PHP and its
usefulness. What I gather is that PHP is some kind of html scripting
(presumably much like JavaScript). On the other hand, there must be a
few people in this group, who have had experience with both scripting
languages (perl and PHP) to be able to provide a bit of a comparison.
i.e. when is it useful to use PHP, why not integrating both scripts
(which I'm sure many people do), is there anything you do with PHP that
cannot be done with PERL, etc.

Apology in advance for the naive suggestion, since I suspect that most
of the subscribers to this group have subscribed because they hate PHP
or they feel that, in most situations, PERL beats PHP hands down.

ciao
