Can't agree more with what's been said. I use Perl on a daily basis for many sysadmin tasks, quick data crunching, file conversion, user/data sync, etc, but not for anything web-related anymore.

Last year I rewrote a tool (our corporate budget collection/modeling system) in PHP/mysql which I had hacked out the year before in Perl. (with text file storage. ug!) Besides getting rid of that horrible code, it was really nice to be using PHP. Its making this year's changes much easier.
