Im not saying dont help them Im just saying Perl will serve their
objectives better than PHP and we should explain that to them.
php is only usefull for web sites perl could be used as a basis for
teaching other programing languages and math proofs, this makes it a
better language for them to teach their kids and i know these people they
want whats best for their kids. im not puting PHP down just saying in this
case perl is a better choice. and if they dont want Perl we can still help
them with PHP or get them help from local PHP user groups and this will
serve both our objectives and theirs.
