Interesting observation. I am just starting to dip my toe into this area and, in fact, "Programming the Semantic Web" is sitting (currently untouched) on my desk.

While I cannot comment on the Perl vs. Python question, I have been poking around CPAN and I found several modules related to the semantic web. I hope others can add to this list.
<ul>
<li>Modules related to RDF: [http://search.cpan.org/search?m=all&q=rdf]</li>
<ul>
<li>[mod://DBD::RDFStore]</li>
<li>[mod://RDF::Query]</li>
<li>[mod://Apache::SPARQL]</li>
<li>[mod://ODO] (Ontologies, Databases, and Optimization)</li>
</ul>
<li>Modules related to structured (meta)data</li>
<ul>
<li>[mod://Data::DublinCore]</li>
<li>[mod://XML::FOAF]</li>
<li>[mod://MediaWiki::API] (Will this support semantic queries for Semantic MediaWiki?)</li>
</ul>
</ul>
