Well then, maybe you don't have/need to learn perl, perl is a pretty
good language for system administration of any sort, if you were on
Unix/Linux well yes of course but on WIndows. I think the better things
for you is to learn PHP and know everythings about it. If you have to
use time for php and perl, you will lose your time, begin with php and
after that if you want to learn perl go for it.
