Hi Paul, your question is not so easy to reply...but I'll try.
The difference between the PHP and the Perl could sound as the difference between ASP and VisualBasic. While ASP il interpreted by the WEB-Server itself, so you can mix-up HTML code with your ASP code, Visual Basic is a 'stand alone' language, but you can use it to generate HTML pages too. So, PHP sound like ASP...you can mix it with the HTML code and the Webserver will interpret it...Perl is a language 'stand-alone', it is a "general purpose language". It's great features in "string manipulation" make it a great language for Hipertestual document manipulation. That's why it is largely used in the Web. I'm a beginner in both Perl & PHP...as you I come from the MS World, but I prefer Perl for the large support and for the great number of modules I can count on. What I say is just a simple introduction...most skilled person can add detail to this response Good Perl! ^_^ Francesco --- Paul Kraus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is perl used to compliment PHP or is perl better to use by itself > instead of php?
