Trite answer: Use whatever is going to work best in your circumstances. All 3 languages can do what you need. Strong points for the languages as related to your question: PHP: Easy to make web pages. Perl: Lots of libraries, good text processing support Python: Easy to read and maintain You could even use all 3, in their strong areas. eg, PHP for the web page, perl for quick & dirty text-processing utils, and Python for the longer, more complicated scripts which you have to maintain.
