Given the choices you are beginning with, it sounds like your brother-in-law is more bigger picture management oriented as opposed to being deep in the trenches. In that case, I would lean more towards titles such as:As for Perl & the Web, a lot of people still use it, & Perl shops still exist (I work for one...). However, for people coming into lower-level back-end Web development today, I would suggest going with Ruby (which has a good framework, but few people use Ruby outside of Rails...) or Python (which is more widely used, but the Web frameworks aren't as good...).
