PHP has very few templating systems and they just kill php's biggest
advantage [...]
There are plenty of PHP templating systems, and coding PHP gets a lot
more pleasant with a good template system.
I think what he meant was, most PHP "template" systems are simply drop
in php scripts that are normal PHP that gets done (IE include()ed) as
part of the page.
I was thinking WASP, or Smarty, or some in PEAR.

Oh gotcha :) Sure PHP has API's to template systms done in other
languages and probably some doenn all in PHP, Perl has those too, but
using them doesn't destroy the entire reason you'd want to use it in the
first place. See? Very dumb PHP is, use it not.
If you did use a real templating system with PHP thats when you "just
kill php's biggest advantage" because now there's no need for its
"embedded in HTML" funtionality, bottom line: PHP blows :)
Yes, there are more ways to
"separate application logic and content from its presentation".
Right by killing the biggest "feature" it has :)
Another advantage of perl which was not pointed in that web page is
that perl has perldoc
The PHP documentation at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ is very
practical.
What if you are coding on a machine without an internet connection?
Downloadable in many formats and languages.
