PHP is like Perl, but only so much.

I miss Perl's unless control structure.  Perl has better "english" making things readable.  It's so good, you can do Perl Poetry.

Ugh.  PHP needs to do better.

While all very true, Perl programmers know how to be lazy (it's one of their virtures). So why would you want to do an if(!(expression)) when you can say unless(expression)? Or, in English, "If not this, do that" compared to "unless this happened, do that."

And that's another in a long list of reasons Perl is a WORN language. (Write once read never)
