I do this with Perl.

One of the reasons I like Perl is because of its high committment to backwards compatibility.

I like PHP because it's so easy to set up an installation of my app, but the breaking changes have bit me hard in the past, so I try to minimize its use.

Together, it's a great combo.

How is php easy to setup?
Step 1: Copy the files.

Step 2: (There is no step 2.)

This is not realistic. I have not seen that since little league soccer homepage back in the late 90s.

For "simple" deployment you need a binary that you ship. Anything else requires more steps, php included.

I don't understand the difference between one binary and several files, except that the files are easier to version...
