    "As Perl seems to fades into irrelevance?"

    Oh please. All you PHP simpletons are all alike. Imbeciles in its truest form. First off you can't even compare Perl to PHP. Perl is a general purpose progamming language not a simpleton web language such as PHP. So if you're going to put something down at least have proof. PHP is a memory hogging inefficient childs toy. And if you're going to compare PHP to Perl, at least compare it to Mason & mod_perl, you know it's bs when you try to make the odds in your favor trying to compare PHP to CGI. Duh obviously it's a better contender there but not when it comes to Mason & mod_perl. So next time, please go do your research instead of babbling.

    You know being second to last at http://www.bagley.org/~doug/shootout/craps.shtml is not biased. PHP DBI is a joke too. Perl DBI is a fantastic DBI, unlike bleh PHP's.

    Perl > PHP need I say more?

    Because Anonymous Crowhead has declared such! I mean, even if you code it completely correctly, present it correctly, and the code itself is well-organized and formatted and easy to read...Anonymous Crowhead on Slashdot has decided inlining presentation and data is bad design. Let's all change for him.
