PHP is written in C, I know this for a fact since I had to troll through the souce to pin down a bug in the Truetype Font support in the GD library (the bug was in GD, not PHP).
PHP has never stood for 'Perl Hypertext Preprocessor', at best it's a recursive acronym 'PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor', and doesn't really resemble Perl that much. Sure it has hashes (associative arrays) but just about every other function is available in a different way to Perl, for example regexes are performed via a function (either Posix or Perl style) and are not native to the language.
Perl makes an excellent scripting language, I use it a lot, but PHP is much more 'designed' for Web scripting.
In any case,
real men code like this:
copy con program.exe
