Learning Perl is a great book by Randal Schwartz. It gave a good look into Perl. I was able to do a lot of system management on my Linux system with it. Perl is a very good language but as DaWei said PHP was created with the Web in mind and nothing.
PHP is the most popular web language to date. Perl is good for CGI but PHP is great. I just recently brought "PHP in a Nutshell" by Paul Hudson. It's great and very simple.
