They're pretty intuitive once you do it a bit!
Perhaps if you posted what you're trying to do here we could all help!

Hmm, I don't think so. I could be wron but I don't think so.
 PHP pretty much poops out webpages, sends email, and makes some text into buttons
 and is way behind on other stuff, especially anything very complex.
 ( although the latest version has some shell scripting abilities I hear )
Don't get me wrong PHP has it's place but it just can't do most of 
the things I use perl for.
