Realize that somewhere between 60 and 80 percent of performance problems are poorly writen queries. I agree that if you are looking at PHP or Perl and wondering about speed you are worring about the wrong thing up front. If it's any consolation prize cmdrtaco from slashdot prefers Perl to PHP though I don't know why for sure.
