I admit I don't know much of Perl, but my decision not to learn it
was largely based on my perception that much things in Perl happen
automagically (or just the language is too terse), making it hard
to understand.
I'm probably a strange type of guy for a PHP coder, but I like
$HTTP_*_VARS arrays, and all the servers I use have
register_globals = off, and error_reporting = E_ALL (with these
switched to on and E_ALL &~ E_NOTICE in <Directory ...> sections
where third-party code resides... I think I have yet to come across
a class or application that's written "properly" (from MPOV).
