The problem there is that you need someone to reuse the code; this someone would have to be able to tell what is "really good code".
The part that works. ;-)
I know no PHP apart from the obvious, so this someone won't be me ;-) Judging from the proportion of what I know about PHP to what I know about Perl, I think as long as Wikipedia will be on PHP, I won't be able to submit anything beyond bugfixes and minor cosmetic changes.
Well, if you know perl, you pretty much know PHP. That's what I tell myself everytime I look at the code, at least.
I sympathize with you. And if you want to write the whole site over from scratch in perl, that's a bold undertaking. I suspect it'd be hard to get the people who have invested a lot of time in the current code to see the wisdom in doing that, esp. if the only real reason is yours and my knowledge deficit with respect to PHP.
