I wonder how much of this is due to pacific rim outsourcing of corporate 
web site construction?  I know from experience that Indian outsource 
companies have little interest or investment in open source languages 
like PHP and Perl.  Java, ASP and .NET rule there, possibly because the 
developers learned their craft through universities and commercial 
training/certification courses.
