PHP? or Perl?by "Insurance Squared" <gcooke(at)insurancesquared.com> |
|
Hi All, I'm considering creating an online database application for a niche industry, and would like your thoughts on whether I should have the coding done in PHP or Perl. I'm about 50-50 on both, and don't see any clearcut reasons to go with one over the other. Primary considerations: -security; the data will be confidential. - maintainability; for myself - maintainability for others (I'm planning on releasing the app under the GPL). - portability across platforms The application would be small to medium sized in scope. Is there a reason I should go with one over the other? Or is this just a matter for personal preference? TIA, glenn (BTW, I'm on digest, so a cc is always appreciated).
