That depends on what you are doing. Historically perl has been used for CGI web pages, and tons of odd lilttle jobs, especially on linux/unix.

Does it have to be one or the other ?.
Perl doesn't have much of a place in web development any more. But perl still has a big place in linux/unix system administration.

That depends on, what you are using it for, and how you measure efficiency.
But yes it can be efficient and usefull, in the right setting.
