Coverity Study Ranks LAMP Code Quality

Interesting excerpt to me, since Perl is my weapon of choice:

"Chelf was surprised, however, by the performance of the Perl language.

"Of the LAMP stack, Perl had the best defect density well passed standard deviation and better than the average, Chelf said.

Perl had a defect density of only 0.186. In comparison Python had a defect density of 0.372 and PHP was actually above both the baseline and LAMP averages at 0.474." ("Coverity Study Ranks LAMP Code Quality", Sean Michael Kerner, internetnews.com)
