[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Feb-15-02 AT 03:01AM (GMT)[p]PHP is indeed faster, but to say that it's easier to create web pages in is a load of wash. In standard Perl, there is various outputs to just put in either raw HTML to whatever you want, and also a way to just set in a few tags and have it write it out on it's own.
Perl is also much easier to get into, as it's constructs are easy to understand and work with. Whereas with PHP, I've been trying to learn it for about 3 months and it's still a bit odd. I learned Perl quite easily in almost half that time. Plus, Perl is more commonly found on servers than PHP is, we're still waiting for PHP here so we can switch to vBulletin (e.g. speed). PHP can be a total bitch at times, which is why whenever V13 has a move or a change, it takes a good while to get the scripts working again - here at NMA, our hold-up was trying to get the nuances of the Perl setup here down right. For instance, this server requires the following line or it will compile the script with an error:
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
Dunno if the board will show it right, even vBulletin's "script quote" section never works as claimed.
