Hello Eric:

The similarities are not an accident.  I don't know the exact history,
but Perl was meant to augment many of the uses of awk and a few other
command line utilities.  Programming languages that have arisen after
Perl borrow some of the motifs and not others.  Perl is great as a
command-line glue, php as a web glue.

Doug
