I see lots of apps in php now and app's used to be in Perl. Is there a major difference in these two scripting languages? If so what? Why should one switch?

PHP is more suited to Rapid Application Development in a web based environment than Perl. It is also easier to learn, has less ambiguities, better builtin OOP, database abstraction and XML support and one of its greatest pros, can be embedded inside HTML.
