I'm not going to get into the middle of the base64 argument, but I don't
think that mixing perl and php is rare. I've seen the mix occasionally
crop up up this list, and I know from myself. I've been using Perl for
10 years and PHP for only 2.5. It's inevitable that I'll choose Perl
for certain uses and that I'll call the Perl as cgi from pages scripted
in PHP. Then there are things which I've already got written in Perl
that I also call as cgi from PHP pages. Or operations that are not
compiled into all installs of PHP and are standard with Perl, like
fork(), and there's nothing you can do about it because you don't have
control over the installation. Each language has its strengths. What's
true of Perl, I think is probably true of Python as well. There are
lots of programmers and web sties that must mix Python and PHP.
