Depends on who is doing it. I can do more with Perl than with PHP, but I know someone else who can do more with PHP than Perl. It isn't the language that is the limiting factor, it's the experience/training/skill of the person doing it. It's like asking what weighs more, a kilogram of bricks, or a kilogram of feathers. They are the same, they just look different. Perhaps if you gave us some indication of what you had in mind we could give you more information.
