Perl doesn't have that much of an advantage over PHP these days, and Perl's looking decidedly creaky and old. Perl's spiritual successor is arguably Ruby, which is a much more powerful and structured language, and has a rather good web framework in Ruby on Rails.

Python also has some good web development frameworks (CherryPy, SQLObject, Django etc.)
