Perl is easier than PHP?! I find PHP to be infinately easier to understand and use than perl. I was using perl for years before messing around with PHP and found the transition VERY easy.

I disagree - Most web-based solutions are easier in PHP. Perl was built for processing text, something it's very good at, but if you want to do any kind of web-related work, PHP, while less mature, is usually better suited for the task. Perl will do it, but not as easily in most cases. I still use perl in a lot of places every day - the web isn't one of them.
