Actually I wonder why anyone uses Cold Fusion at all. PHP is a much better
product and it is free. PHP has features from Perl, including the ability
to use Perl regular expressions.
For certain types of web pages, it is better suited for scripting than
Perl. It does not replace it for complex tasks. (In fact, you can call
Perl scripts from PHP if you want.)
Of course, that viewpoint is probably heretical here.
