[ale] PHP vs. Perl

[Tommie M. Jones]

I think the real question is if you like the approach of embedding
programming code inside HTML. PHP, JSP and ASP follow this approach.

I've never liked this approach myself.

Many Web developers think there are only two approaches:
   embedding HTML in the source code
      or
   embedding source code into Web pages

There is a third approach.  Using powerful Templating functions where you
have simple control structures to support if & loop structures but are not
powerful enough to do any business logic code.

To do this in perl you can use  HTML::Template.
