I built Apache::ASP back in the day when both PHP and Java were toys (even Linux was half baked), and glue of the web and unix systems was often perl, my first love of a language.
One of my requirements was in fact that the next framework be Perl-based, and only partly because we had all this code already written. The other reason, of course, is that Perl remains a highly productive language for me. I still reach for it first when writing anything "scripty," despite knowing a dozen or so other languages that could also accomplish the task.
As Bjarne said[1], there are the languages everyone complains about, and the ones nobody uses. :)
