Answer 2

The answer is this,
there is no answer to this question,
since the purpose of your development,
decides what languages is the best.

PHP is the easyest way to code for web development.
You can generate simple pages, and you learn it much faster.

Perl is much stronger, and more hard to learn,
but it can achieve much more for the web.
