It depends. For system admin, Perl is better than Python IMO. For web development, maybe python is somewhat more convenient due to its wide-used frameworks? Python is more OO than Perl, it's more suitable for the project which has invoked multi-workers. But Perl's OO, well, maybe it's not that strong, but I just like it. Overall, if you have been mastering perl well, learning python is quick and easy, as well as learning ruby.
