Questions like this have been known to start wars.

None that I know of.  I'm going to pretty confidently say that anything
that can be done in PHP can be done in Perl.  That being said, my
personal preference is to use PHP for web-based applications.  Best to
know both in order to choose based on preference.  If you know Perl (or
have pretty much any programming experience) you will pick up PHP
easily.

I would say sure, absolutely. BUT...why WOULDN'T you want to know as
many languages as possible?  I can't think of a single reason NOT to
learn PHP.
