PHP or Perl?

Why aren't you considering Python I'd like to know?

Perl already has CGI.pm, amplifying forms. It makes CGI form processing simple. In addition, I am familiar with Perl, like my father.
Pyhton, on the other hand, is something I never want to get bitten by. My dad says that Python is another sub-par language used by fools.
PHP is easy to use and includes a lot of functions, but the "used more than max RAM" error is annoying me.
I should check into Python though. I've used Plone (another Python product), and it works great when you modify the Zope Database. In addition, Python doesn't require semicolons (Wikipedia said that) and it's growing.
piratePenguin:
Python is used by Google and by NASA.

My dad says that Python is outclassed. In reality, it's not; it's popular with corporations. Heck, even an MMORPG is made from Python. Sadly, I tried it, but my inexperience and failure with mod_python led me to ditch it.
In the end, I'm happier with PHP or Perl. Python was a great suggestion, but I need more experience on it.
piratePenguin:
forget mod_python and learn how to use Pylons or Django. Python+mod_python is hardly comparable to PHP: that's a very low-level interface. Pylons provides a much MUCH simpler, and better envirnment
but yeah its up to you. if you're used to php, python will be a little bit different.
