What shortcomings does Perl have? I think you are confused. If you really can find something that Perl can't do on your server (???) you can always code those routines in C.
Don't bother with anything else. PHP is cool but anything you can do in PHP, you can do in Perl. But if you really know C already, I can guarantee that you will be able to learn PHP in only one hour. Perl on the other hand is a very powerful language.
Check out the "Perl Cookbook" and you will see some very complex things that you can do with Perl: code your own server, make robots, code objects, graphics, blah blah blah...
