There are lots of reasons. The most important reason to use Perl instead of PHP is that Perl is useful in many areas - web programming as well as system administration and automation of routine tasks. PHP on the other hand is amost exclusively used with web programming only. If you use Perl, there are many more ways you can apply your knowledge. Not everything is a web app after all. > What is the difference between mysql and MySQL (case sensitivity)? Just a difference in casing.

Pretty soon you'll need a good book on Perl and another good book on MySQL / databases. There is no one good MySQL+Perl book out there that will answer all of your questions or show you all of the concepts you need to master.
