Take a look at Embperl. It has many of the attributes of PHP along with
the ability to use all of the modules that exist for Perl. With Embperl
included as a module in Apache the Perl code only is parsed the first time
it is used and can be keept as part of the httpd server. I know of people
who have moved from PHP to Embperl and seen a dramatic increse in
