Now you have identical logic...implemented in PHP and in Perl.

I have noticed this myself, even in the admittedly simple uses I've put these two. One my sites is based around templates originally generated by PHP3. Given PHP's security problem with multi-part forms, I decided to implement an upload process using perl.

In doing so, I found that I had to re-design my template process to make them easier to share between PHP and perl. While a reasonably trivial task, it did take some time that I could have used for other portions of the project.

The lesson, then, is to take some extra time during your design phase to make sure that your implementation can suport multiple tools and processes.

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.
