I'm sorry but asm uch as I dislike perl, I would never advise replacing it with a language that has interpreted whitespace. thats just asking for a bunch of stupid little errors.
Have you ever tried to program anything in Python? I have learned python a couple of month ago and since then _never_ made any error which was related to wrongly indented code. Since any serious programmer indents his code anyway it is hard to believe for me that this could be a source of errors. In fact after using python for a while I found it pretty intuitive and would like more languages to adopt it :-)
I do not know PHP good enough to compare it to Python, but I am sure that Python would be an excellent choice since it is very easy to learn, has some support for OOP and is very intuitive.
