This is true. But Perl is the only other language that seems like it has a common install base. Something I'll deal with if Perl is indeed the best option. Every language has it quirks and annoyances. Some more than others.

so you're annoyed you have to use an $. That really is a pisser

Study lambda calculus, LISP, Ruby or any functional language. You will have a better idea of what this means.

no thanks, I did my time in discrete math ... I know what you mean, I just don't agree with you. Ruby is a framework...

Incorrect. Some languages are more powerful to use than others. Just like assembly takes more effort that a higher level language can do much easier. PHP is a very limited language in what it allows you to do. Sure, it's Turing complete so that means you can technically do anything, but that's not the point. It's about the amount of effort that needs to be expended. You can spend 10 hours doing something that may only take an hour in another language. Also, some things might be able to be dynamic, while PHP only lets you do them statically.
