Honestly i never would have even considered PERL. I never see it in use anywhere.
Is there some reason why you'd use PERL over something like PHP which is installed pretty much as standard on every webserver i've ever seen, has a huge range of free scripts and great documentation, including xml support, is a very very easy language to learn and (in my experience) has a much wider user base online that can help with it.
If you already know PERL and not PHP, then fine. Just wondering if PERL has any actual advantages in this situation.
