Here's what it comes down to for the most part. if you're NOT trying to build something that needs to handle mass amounts of traffic perl is GREAT, using it to build data is pretty usefull and it DOES have a DBI so you can even put that data into the DB.
When it comes down to being able to serve thousands to hundreds of thousands of pages a day that is where perl becomes a limp dick at an orgy... useless and out of place.
Perl is more of a server maintanence type language. I would worry about learning ruby before bothering going BACK to perl. Perl is something I used a LOT 10 years ago but everything else has moved on and perl hasn't really.
