For instance perl style regular expressions are supported, but not the regex operators. And then I really dislike the whole tag/code mixing deal. In JSP you can combine JSP with servlets and beans to separate the logic from the jsp templates, in ASP COM components could be used but in PHP everything has to be in a php file. I should also confess that the syntax is not what I like about perl, it's the flexibility, the good regex support and the vast collection of modules (you really can't match CPAN). When it comes to syntax I much prefer C++, and now days most things I do is in that language.

I should also confess that the syntax is not what I like about perl, it’s the flexibility, the good regex support and the vast collection of modules (you really can’t match CPAN). When it comes to syntax I much prefer C++, and now days most things I do is in that language.

Although I' mwith you with PHP I think I'm too biased towards the Java syntax camp. Hmmm… you like the Perl syntax but despise the PHP syntax?
