well.. I have 6 years Perl.. but I don't do web design, and no PHP programmer has been me out of a position yet. I am not shooting down PHP, but Perl has many many advantages over PHP, but PHP is better for DB access via a web front. But Perl is better at backend access and overall reporting (not DB reports alone). It's just not a dead or dying language. I think with Perl 6 it will have much renewed vigour.
Remember all languages have there advantages and disadavantages.
