If for web programming only then PHP is much better integrated in your website.
But since perl is so powerful you can integrate it into your web page, too. Check out PerlSP for a more php like perl. Just create a web page with .sp extension and add you code between <? ?> like tags. For most web related things it has autoloaded functions instead of manually loaded/coded modules and objects which we usually have in perl. Many functions are borrowed from php.
