Can anyone out there compare these two using with mysql and web apps - What I can gather so far from my limited experience with both and a little googling: 1. Built in mysql_ functions in php (does perl have this?) 2. Php may be faster. 3. Embedded in html - no separate cgi directory needed. 4. Perl is more mature - more support - more depth to language.
