I'm fluent in PHP as well as Perl and C++. I'm not talking out of my ass when I say that Perl is more powerful and flexible. Let me guess, all you know is PHP, huh?
Im no expert in php, but if you ever wanted to install...hmmm...lets say the imagemagik libraries into php, you would have to recompile php. Where as with perl, all you need to do is install the modules, and start using it.

Thats one reason why I like perl better. There's also the persistant database connections with DBI, excellent regex functionality, and better website performace (w/mod-perl)
