Totally. As a total newbie, I picked up a Perl book and got frustrated. Then picked up a PHP/MySQL book and built a few websites.

The biggest thing for me, at the time, was the ease of use of PHP/MySQL. I haven't touched Perl in nearly a decade, perhaps it got better, but even in 2000-2001 PHP made it very easy for a total newbie to build dynamic websites.
