My observation of PHP, is that the people who use it, don't know what they are doing and just want some canned scripts.
And I'm already starting to notice the "homogenous appearance"
of alot of PHP websites, and to me that makes me think the web programmer just slapped it together. Perl is good enough for me, FastCGI gives my plain old Perl CGI scripts a good boost, if I need it. I think the current situation with remote web servers is just a "temporary hassle", eventually there is going to be high speed access into every location...CHEAP. Then we will all be free to do what we want, instead of being forced to use the server setup of the Provider. As far as PHP having all sorts of cool web gimmicks to display on your page, I don't care for it. I like simple interfaces, alot of those PHP sites give me the feeling of "glittering plastic". And if you ask most of those "PHP Wizards" to change something they don't know where to begin. Perl is far more valuable than PHP will ever be.

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).
