And we all thought Perl was bad! ;)
I never thought that Perl is bad. There are some irresponsible Perl
programmers, just as there are some irresponsible PHP and Python
programmers.
You could try add Perl into your questionnaire.
Advantage: At least as portable as Python. Someone who can have PHP,
can have Perl, too.
Advantage: Anyone who knows PHP, knows Perl almost completely.
Not sure whether it's an advantage: Perl has some built-in security
features (taint), but i'm not really a security expert.
