Hi-
Well, I don't know which is faster, but I guess I have always liked PERL...maybe a PHP author would say differently...perl has always been my choice Smiling

My 2 cents...

Hi,
I agree. I prefer Perl to PHP. I think Perl is a little easier though I have no experience of PHP writing. I've only watched them. I'm sure a PHP programmer would say PHP is better but that's their choice!
