Damn, are we going to start this language thing again? :)

I'll say this, after porting a web based time reporting system from 
server side Javascript to perl, Perl runs circles around server side 
javascript. Just having the server side process running eats up cpu. 
Now, I will state that my experiences with server side javascript were 
on an NT box.

I would expect that apache/perl solution would work much better than 
standard cgi, but I've not benchmarked it.
