Giving my own opinion I prefer Perl over PHP any day. Although it is true that PHP was made specifically for web programming I find PERL easier to use. Someone mentioned it is ugly and it may be true but its probably because there are so many ways to do something. You can do thing the way you want or perhaps another. There is indeed a great multitude of modules for perl that do all sorts of crazy stuff. Since perl wasn't specifically made for web programming most of these modules have not much to do with web programming but the power is there in case one needs to use it. But also because of the same reason Perl may integrate better with other things that may be present on a web server. For example currently for the site I am making I have an option of checking its syntax with a script called "weblint" which runs on a command prompt. But in Perl its pretty easy to run weblint on the webserver, send in some html to it and read its output and then one can display the html with the information weblint provided. PHP probably can do this too in some odd way but I doubt it has as much support for such things as Perl does.

As for Flash, it can also be used for some web programming. Using action-script (Flash's scripting language) one can do some stuff although not as simply as in Perl or PHP.

I forgot to mention that if you learn Perl you can use it for just about anything unless speed is a real issue in which case C should be used.
