in reply to What language should I learn?
Perl -can- do just about anything, but its strengths lie in code density and ease of use in the areas of regex and manipulation of complex data structures. If a project doesn't cater to those particular strengths, you can just as well solve it with any popular high-level language. I'd personally start with PHP next, not because it's necessarily the best, but because it has by far the most market share, with some 77% of the web. PHP is also relatively simple to learn.
