If one is actually talking about getting web work done, vs. religion, then PHP does deserve some praise ... before being taken out in front of the wall at dawn, and shot. ;-) Most of us have to admit that we have some responsibility somewhere for some big PHP monstrosity, probably written in some (equally monstrous ...) PHP version that is no longer being maintained anymore, but which remains in service (and locked in limbo) because someone on the PHP team decided to make some feature of the language “–er” in some incompatible way.
Nevertheless, what they do with their tool is their concern, not Perl’s. At the end of the day, they’re all just ... tools ... and we probably use many of them, before returning, with a gentle sigh of relief (and perhaps a nip of fine cognac), to ... Perl. :-D

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
