Perl is a great language, there should be no doubt about that.
Comparisons of PHP vs Perl
http://www.netconcepts.com/news/php_vs_perl.php
One of PHP's developers stated:
PHP 4 was faster than mod_perl/DBI in this benchmark, but we can't say for sure that PHP is always faster. Generally, PHP 4 is extremely fast, and is usually at least as fast as Perl, and more often it's faster.
The guys at Gossamer-Threads have said mod_perl can be much faster if you run it with an apache daemon of it's own seperate from the one that serves webpages, etc.
To me, the important thing is using what I'm familiar with and can get the job done the easiest with. I'm much less concerned with saving a few cpu cycles or milliseconds of speed.
