In my opinion Perl is better in string manipulation. It is really powerful language when writting scripts.

they both have their ins and outs. Perl is designed to be more universal than php, it has a lot of different modules etc... All I care is about scripts on the net though and in that case php is faster and more secure. Of course anyone is welcome to disagree

QUOTE(jailbox @ Sep 8 2004, 06:04 PM) Is perl better than php in any way? Perl is more efficient and bugless, but it is more difficult. And you have to know st to make safe scripts...

I've seen many similar discussions on this topic. By the end of the day, it seems that it all boils down to how good you use it. Apparently, no language will help you out if you write bad code. So, a Perl programmer will praise his tool, and a Python programmer will tell you that her language is by far the best one, the PHP one will disagree with both.

PHP is very simple and fast language. Perl is harder, but more powerfull. You can do on Perl anything you want, on PHP something is impossible to do. If you want speed, you can use mod_perl, this technology can be faster than php and more stable.

Basically, which is better is a matter of opinion only. I've never tried PHP, but I'd like to. I like Perl, and the many things it can be used for. Which, depending on what you are doing. some Perl scripts can be pretty long. I don't know how long PHP scripts can be, but if it's a really complex script, I'd say they both can be pretty long. But, as I said first, which is better is a matter of opinion, so what I said here probably doesn't matter, since I don't know PHP.
