Perl vs PHP5
Edit: Sorry brian d foy. See comments.
brian d foy writes in this article, O’Reilly Network: Perl versus PHP 5, that he’s seen a lot of complaints about how hard it is to install modules in Perl. Now either he doesn’t use Perl, or maybe he just doesn’t know.
perl -MCPAN -e ‘install Module::Name'
That’s it. PHP doesn’t have a vast module network. I don’t hate PHP, but sooo many security issues, im ALWAYS upgrading mod_php. Perl is my language of choice. I’ve used python/php/tcl and I always come back to Perl.
YAPC Day 1
Well, I’m here at YAPC 2004. Sitting here on the wireless, listening to the keynotes and Perl upcoming releases speech and such.
The hotel SUCKS!! The University Inn, in Buffalo, NY is horrible customer service wise. I got in last night and they said “Hey, you were supposed to be here yesterday, we canceled your reservation.” So they stuck me in a damn sofa bed for the night, and basically told me its my fault. Even though I have a confirmation email stating that my room has been reserved for the 15th and not the 14th!!! These people need a bitch slappin!
