PHP/Perl/Python Mapscript comparison

[Shanti]

I've read the discussion from January 2005 regarding
advantages/disavantages in terms of features of using mapscript in python,
perl, or php and have another concern that I'm hoping someone might
address. I am trying to determine which scripting language would be the
best for a large application that emphasizes the web interface, and could
migrate to an ArcGIS environment if neccesary. I will be working with a
PostgreSQL/PostGIS RMDS and the web-inteface will be extensive.

Thanks so much for any advice,
Shanti
