Doing Web for a living, eh? Now, seriously, you might want to take a
look at Python, if religion doesn't interfere here. I found, that a lot
of the sayings are true: it really enforces read- and maintainability,
and in contrast to Jave it's quick to learn and to hack. With your
knowledge, you will only need an afternoon to get the grasp.
And most important: the regular expressions are Perl-compatible.
