RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] web development language of choice

Not sure about Perl but PHP can be compiled if you want to, mostly as a
way to make it easy to distribute PHP programs while making it hard to see
the code.. also the PHP compiler caches code so that it only recompiles if
you change it especially if your using their accelerators.
