Can you give me an example of something web-related that you can’t do in PHP, but can do in perl (easily)?

I have been coding for 10 years, and PHP can be as complicated or a simple as you want it to be.

I've always been using perl, my friends have always been using php. After 2 years most of them decided to give up php and choose perl. As soon as their projects got more complex than a 'personal home page' they encountered problems that were hard to solve with php. Then I came in "Hey, in perl you can do it with one line of code!". PHP is good if you can't code but you want to have a php. After reading this article someone may think perl is poorly featured - it's not true: you always can find a module or two in CPAN -> Perl can be embedded in HTML without any difficulty, if you know which module to use.
