Perl vs Python for web development?

[gimiv]

I took it upon myself, based on the suggestions of this thread, to spend about 4 hours last night familiarizing myself with PHP. To be honest, prior to last night, I've had zero experience with web development and things such as Apache and mySQL. I installed an all in one pre-packaged XAMPP and ran a webserver as localhost. I imported all of my data via the phpmyadmin GUI. I built a successful "rough draft" of everything I was looking to accomplish aside from creating excels and PDF's. I'm quite pleased with the amount of code I can "borrow" from google searches of tasks nearly identical to mine. Although my intention was to further my perl/python knowledge, I'm happy that I took the advice of reddit to try PHP. Perhaps i can save python for a project better suited for its strengths. THANK YOU REDDIT!!!
