PHP was originally deployed only as a way to serve up dynamic web pages.
However, it now has a standalone mode. It has full regular expression
support and is pretty fast (it needs to be in a web context). Given that PHP
5 has pretty good object-oriented programming support (similar to Java),
it's not a bad choice at all. It's OOP support is (IMHO) certainly better
than Perl's.
