From phpPatterns this morning, there's a new post about an older article that Harry Fuecks happened to come across, as well as some of this own comments.

An interesting analysis of a Perl coders experiences with PHP. Some truths and some parts seem to be misconception. Via Simons blogmarks, came across Experiences of Using PHP in Large Websites which is a little old (delivered to the UKUUG Linux Developers' Conference back in July 2002). IMO it fails to deliver anything significant in it's stated aim: "[...] it is not clear how well PHP scales for use in larger commercial websites. This paper examines the issues in trying to do so." but does serve as a useful document on the types of problems (practical and conceptual) Perl coders have when working with PHP.

It goes on to talk more about the misconceptions in the Perl versus PHP debate (not as bad as .NET and PHP), and mentions the fact that, in most companies, a working knowledge of Perl *and* PHP is a very, very good thing...
