I started using Perl, and well, I just really enjoy PHP much more.
could you expand on the 'capible' part? Do you mean that it doesn't run code as fast or what? I must say that i find php very easy and i'll continue to use it. Just wanted to know if i should look into perl also.

Brandon, i remember you saying that the CD header was made in perl. Could you have done the same thing in php? - If so, why in perl?

Thanks
