Two things, probably. First, it was almost always pre-installed even on low-cost hosting. Second, you could start very simply because it was designed to be used embedded. Tiny little bits of code could so something -- not need for a "framework". Other languages were not always installed (I'm sure it's better these days) and those that were (Perl almost always was) could not, by default, be used embedded -- you had to generate the whole page.
