How To Decide Between PHP And Perl

Computing : Learning PHP

If you are writing a program should you use PHP or Perl?

As a rule this is very simple call to make.

If you are writing a web application or website then you should go for PHP which is designed specifically to be used on the web and for web programs.

Indeed a Perl script however is not designed for this but rather for often quick and simple tasks in the UNIX environment.

If the program is not web based, then you are almost certainly better off going with something like Perl.

And that's all that there is to it!
