Most professional, dynamic sites will use a combo of a lot of those scripts. Although some use ASP instead of PHP, but that kind of depends on what your server supports.

XHTML/CSS is the new hotness for layout. You'd be hard pressed to find a site designed by a pro in the last year that didn't have that as a basis.

PHP/ASP are the server side languages that handle big dynamic sites like Myspace, and a lot of news outlets.

Javascript is overused, to be honest...but it has a great place in the field for things like form validation.

There are a bunch of other technologies out there. Not one is the all-out best, but some are better than others for a job at hand.

You obviously have to use HTML, but as a server side language, I suggest PHP, it is lightweight and you can do nice database stuff with it.

I am a bit biased as I have not used Perl or JSP, but have used the others, and of which I find PHP works the best.

But first decide on your needs, and then do research on the benefits of each and choose according to your requirements.
