PHP / ColdFusion are definately well suited for their tasks. But I find that the following gets a little irritating..
PHP/CF are pure web languages, it's irritating in CF to have to use a browser to debug code. PHP can be run from a command line, but it's not really a command line language..
PHP/CF has little in namespaces, making it pretty tough to write anything complex without making a mess.
mod_perl has the neat ability of being this huge complex beast, or, just a simple text munging engine (See Mason, Apache::ASP, or Template::Toolkit). Slashdot's faq response in concern to PHP vs. mod_perl was a good summation.
I guess it just depends on what YOU like. Both are capable of doing what you need.

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).
