I too use PHP on my servers, but I was keeping with the thread and used 
Perl code.

I will say that most of my code is written in Perl because I like writing 
in it. There is something about the style of Perl that I like over PHP and 
the other scripting languages.  I do use mod_perl to pickup a little speed 
for my higher volume sites.

Besides, what you code in is just away (one of many) to get the job 
done.  If I had a choice I would still be programming in assembly language 
on the 6809 or 68000.  Motorola know how to create CPUs for programmers!

For more on who is still using Perl (and why), check out Floss weekly 4 & 9 
podcast over at twit.tv (This Week In Tech)
Here is the links: http://www.twit.tv/floss4 and

Leo Laporte and the other tech heads have great daily and weekly podcast 
covering just about anything tech.  And well produced, too.

By the way, wait till you see Perl 6.0!  (OOC is no longer treated as an 
afterthought.)
