gilbert0 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi friends,

I'm pretty new to this site, pretty new to Perl and CGI to. But some thought has been bothering me for the last couple of days: is it really worth learning CGI/Perl?
I dont want to seem offensive or insult Perl or anything, but it seems that a lot of things are done in PHP these days.
Has CGI/Perl become obsolete? Or are the PHP and CGI/Perl not comparable?
