Actually, the idea of mixing php and perl sounds good. And...perl is a little nutty when you realize you don't understand that script you just wrote five minutes ago...

I have a buddy that was working with a company that was attempting to compete with eBay... they started with all Windows machines, so they went with mostly Microsoft products, such as IIS, ASP, SQL Server, and VB. Then, they slowly started moving towards Linux systems, and ended up with half and half. So, in addition to all of the old code being written using the above, they also have Perl, PHP, Python, and Ruby scripts as well as a MySQL database on one of the machines... believe it or not, they are intertwining all of this stuff together, and it is the biggest mess you'll ever see in your entire life.
So, I must say that while mixing languages together is an interesting idea (I've come across a very unique and useful implementation of PHP and Perl together before, actually, but don't remember where I saw it), I wouldn't recommend it. Hehe.
And yes, literally, it takes about five minutes for you to forget the meaning of some Perl code. It's one of life's little mysteries.
