The example you gave doesn't stand
just because that wwwthread you're talking about was faster in php.
maybe the coder of the perl version wasn't as good as the php one.
and it does matter what you use it for
if you use php just to echo some test
it will be as fast as the perl version.
ever wondered why tgsw or adcycle or any good traffic script
wasn't coded in php ?
php is simple to code.
how do you test the speed of a language ?
use php and perl to process a 3GB file , which one do you think
will be faster ?
use the both to generate 10k of random numbers with 100 digits each..., again which one works faster ?

File processing Perl is A LOT faster than php, however most web programs use databases like mysql.
