I feel much the same way, but I've been working on my PHP skills for a couple months now and It's going well. The more I learn, the more I like PHP. It's certainly far easier to learn and somewhat easier (I should say 'faster') to code than Perl is.
A year from now I could see myself coding all my Web application entirely in PHP. But I will continue to use Perl for sys admin jobs, like cron jobs. PHP can't do that stuff, and I never bothered to learn shell scripting (yuk!).
