Oh boy - You shouldn't ask a question like that to a bunch of perl mongers! :)
Maybe more powerful, maybe not. yes and yes. I have coded web pages in php for many years before I got into perl - I like perl better for one simple reason: I can get more done in a given amount of time with perl than I can with php. This is not to say it is for everyone, but when I am able to choose my environment, I almost always go for perl unless there are overriding reasons not to. Good luck.

I'm just learning PERL, and I love it so far! A friend of mine wants help with a project that involves moving data to and from a MySQL database via the web, but he wants to find someone who can do it using PHP. He said that he heard that PHP is faster and more powerful. Is this true? Are there other advantages to PHP over PERL? Are there advantages to PERL over PHP? Thanks!
