I suspect that most people who have seriously used both Perl and PHP would agree that you can do just about anything in Perl that you can in PHP.

Not perhaps, can. From what I've seen PHP is a rock solid product that offers up a lot of niceties... But these niceties can have a price dependent upon the needs and scope of the project...

Like I mentioned before I wanted to be able to use perl modules - something you can't do in PHP because it's not perl.

Also, PHP is proprietary in that you can't extend it's functionality like you can with perl.

I have to say that I probably would have gone with PHP if it wasn't for the fact that I needed to use my perl modules and the other small factor of not wanting to learn yet another language...
