I have done my fair share of PHP programming. Honestly, i
really like PHP. I really do ... but, the level of
programming ability among PHP programmers is much lower
than that of Perl programmers. Because PHP is indeed easier
to get started with than Perl, it tends to attract less than
good programmers. Of course, Perl has it's share of
less than good programmer as well, but PHP doesn't have
a site like this. :)
Stick around, not only will you learn a lot of Perl here,
you will also learn a lot about Web Programming. I recommend
that you learn some Perl, learn some PHP ... heck, a little
Python won't kill you either. But by no means is Perl dead.
Who is your friend? Send him our way and we'll show him
just how ridiculously wrong he is. >:)

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
