Jeff,
PERL is quite useful for support scripts, database importing, automation of
tasks, and other various things that the modern duct tape of interpreted languages
(well, I guess Python too) can do.
I'd recommend learning both. If you have to limit yourself to just one
buzzword language then I guess PHP might be a good choice, but the two will compliment
each other well in the end...
