My impression is that PHP is of high demand, due to its mostly free/open source nature and libraries available.
ASP.NET is (slowly) replacing ASP as the leading Microsoft web technology, as .NET framework save a lot of work for developers.One using propietary technology has a lot to consider -- cost, license, etc. Even so, there are still much demand on ASP solutions today, due to it's lightweight. Perl is a simple yet powerful language especially when handling large amount of strings, despite it's age. It is the main language use by bioinformatians to write bio-tech programs today, since it is easy to learn. Other than that, I personally recommend PHP, unless one runs on a Windows which ASP [.NET] might perform better on.
