Sure, take the word of some Warin dude who is up to his ass in perl and python.
Next, point to a project that actually works, in either lingo.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You need cites of Perl projects that work? Honest?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Yes, honest. I am going on about Wikis, now. PHP is all about the text manipulation, which is what Wikis are all about.
I lurves me some perl ... but I have got nothin' for the extensiblity of perl wikis.

I have no reason to assume that the Perl wikis listed above don't work--do you?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Yes. I have tested each of them under actual usage. TVTropes gets north of 500K hits a day, and it busted all of these.
Put my tit-oriented joucularity aside for a moment. This is a true report.

Which one did you end up using? I'm sure there are PHP implementations that don't scale either, but I'm merely talking hypotheticals here.

TVTropes uses PmWiki. I have modified the source extensively. I made a bunch of revisions to the source, to provide additional features. These, unfortunatelly, were related to the file layout of the 1.(whatever) release. Which layout changed radically for the 2.x release.
So, I can't tell you anything about PmWiki 2.x out of personal experience.
There were some performance issues .. leaks and whatnot ... that I patched over. I don't know if these were addressed in later Pm releases. I can tell you that my version of Pm is cranking 500K+ hits, all out of cache, with only a gig of ram hardware.

Does the last bit of this quote belong back to Angel?

Probably. You do know you can, as an admin, edit quotes, right?
eta: Also, I think quote fixes better belong in B'cacy than here, since they're not a technical issue.
Which isn't to read like a reprimand, but I don't know how to get the tone right in text.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I vacillated. Sorry. And also, yeah, I seem to vaguely remember that. Can't actually work out how, though. I'm sure it's something obvious, so I'll go ahead and exhibit my shame now in advance.
