Hello Matthew, so Perl is also good that you can implement many more languages such as c++, also there are many modules at CPAN (swig) for this.
If you want to see our perl implementation look at www.markiza.sk which was formerly running on PHP and his average load was around 10-20 with PHP, now it is about 0.5 to 0.7 average load. Yes, PHP is good for database using sites (it is easier and faster to write such site in PHP than in perl).
