Investors suck like that. I have had to fight many of these battles. The first thing to do is find out specifically _why_ the investor thinks that so you can counter their claims. Trying to counter vague notions of 'terrible' is impossible. The opponent has to commit to an opinion before you can fight it.
Then just point to many of the well-known sites on the success pages that are high volume and do quite well with mod_perl Explain that to do this project in Java or C or CGI would have costed more, taken longer and given negligible benefits. Thats what I do. I usually also show how my architecture can interact with other architectures via XML or directly at teh data store level.
