Would like to ask people's thoughts on whether Perl or
PHP has higher performance with MySQL. I've heard
rumours that DBI is slower than the PHP MySQL driver.

I would say that comparing DBI to ADODB is more appropriate; PHP more or less directly calls the mysql C library functions whereas PERL actually does some additional work in there. In PERL's case, its probably a similar code distance to just do a single executed query and return an array of results as it is in PHP though. I'd benchmark it to be sure though.
