Perl and PHP both have their place. If I am just doing some simple scripting and need some dynamic content, then it's PHP all the way. I do the more sophisticated tasks in Perl. PHP just isn't able to handle some of the things I need to do.
If I have something that is going to see some serious traffic then it's C all the way. PHP and Perl are both slow compared to well written C. C is a real pain in the ass to write...for me anyway. It takes about twice as long as Perl or PHP.
Advantage: Perl
