  PHP 5.3+ supports lambda/anon functions.

  As of ease of configuration, I disagree. Sometimes it's hard for different PHP apps to use different php.ini (well it depends on the type of server configuration), and php.ini is still required because not all configuration can be set by ini_set().

  Plus you still have to undo magic_quotes to avoid hairpulling. Plus turn off register_globals if by default still on. And others.

  I find Perl CGI's easier to configure, with local::lib and all.
