Actually, you may joke, but you have a point (at least for new development).

I've known Perl for about a decade now, Python for 2-3 years less than
that and PHP for about 5 years.

I've come to regard Perl as a legacy scripting language these days.
For any website stuff I do as part of employment I use PHP. Outside
of employment (and at work when it's not website related) I use
Python.

Simon.
