In the immortal words of Gert Cuykens <gert.cuykens@gmail.com>...

The simplest answer is, pick one, learn it, then use it.  They all have
pros and cons.  I tend to mix and match with Perl & PHP depending on
what I need.  If I need web output I use PHP, if I need console output/
background stuff then I use Perl.

I suggest that you look at example code from each one, and pick
whichever one you understand the most from reading the code.

Cheers

Tim
