As most of the above posts have indicated perl is much more powerful than php, although php is better suited to persons beginning programming on the web.
The question I would ask you is "Do you want to write a few simple CGI scripts and leave it at that, or are you intending to learn to program?";
PHP is a kick bike, perl is a motor bike. If you need to get to the corner now a kick bike is easy to learn and quite quick. If you want to go on the motorway, you'll need to put in the extra bit of effort to ride a motorbike. Just don't forget your helmet( use strict; use warnings and for CGI, perl -T). --tidiness is the memory loss of environmental mnemonics
