Greetings; Mainly because of flexibility, but also because it is a technology that is widely and freely available and not proprietary.
I commonly use one of several different platforms; Win-ME with Apache & ActiveState Perl, WinNT w/Apache & cygwin Perl, WinNT w/Apache & ActiveState Perl, one ISP with some old Sun UNIX w/Apache & std Perl, another ISP with a diff. mfg. Unix & some version of Perl, and linux/390 w/Apache & std. Perl. Using Perl I can develop, test, and use any of my web apps on any of these systems completely interchangeably. And that increases my productivity and efficiency. Good Luck!
