Perl's strength, in my mind, is that it has enormous breadth.
What I like is that it has always been a general-purpose programming language like C and Java, but unlike those two it has the CPAN and has a large and friendly community around it who help me when I'm having trouble with it.
PHP, on the other hand, is not general-purpose. While I've heard that it is now possible to run PHP stuff outwith a webserver, it's still a web piece of shit at heart.

why they were only gonna get them over my dead body.
