PHP, Perl, Python, etc are all good ways to generate web pages,
and they all get on with MySQL perfectly well (OK, I've only used
Perl, but I've heard a lot about PHP and a little about Python). My
personal input re Perl v. PHP is that PHP is great for people starting
CGI stuff if they know HTML first - it lets you create web pages
and embed bits of programs. Perl, on the other hand, is better if
you know programming first, or if you want complete flexibility.
Also note that the Perl DBI interface means that it is relatively simple
to move from one database engine to another, but PHP only supports
a limited number of database engines.
