Yeah..I finally learned some Perl, now I gotta convert all my scripts to PHP. Well...good thing they are similar(well, sorta). Actually, I don't know much PHP, but it's sort of a combo of code from other languages, right? Shouldn't be that hard to learn.

Miva Script programs are HTML documents that also contain tags from the Miva Script programming language. Miva Script is a server-side scripting language that is implemented by a Miva Server (Empresa or Mia) rather than by the browser.

The implication of Miva Scripts is pretty different from other scripting languages and so its not fair to say that Miva may replace CGI. From what I know Miva Scripts are primarily used for online store mgmt. (payment processing, shopping cart systems etc).

It really depends. PHP isn't the most full-featured programming language around. Where are the pointers? If you just want to make a lot of relatively simple pages quickly, then PHP is a good choice.

When you delve deep into perl you'll find a lot fo powerful features. Other types of page generation with java also seem quite good.

If you know some perl etc PHP is simple - just get the manual on your pc and get going - it's easier to find the info than Perl docs
