I suspect it's just because I've never taken the time to figure
out how to do advanced database activities using PHP/FI, while 
doing so in Perl is straightforward and usually pretty simple.

I've had others tell me as well that it's a lot simpler to put
together a new app in PHP/FI than in Perl, but I seem to have 
some difficulty getting my mind around the PHP/FI way of doing
things...
