I can't comment on the relative ease, but PHP is easy to use, at
least for small projects like mine. I don't mean to start a flame war
here, but Perl's syntax alwasy seemed a little obscure to me. I'm used
to C and C-inspired shells. Not knowing anything about PHP, it took
me about an hour to build a page that would display an HTML table
from select, with color-coded rows. Not too bad for an occasional
programmer.
