It's also the case that given the choice between:

"We could make this in Perl or PHP. For PHP, it costs $x to run a
server. For Perl, it costs $(2x).

It doesn't matter what x is.

I'm kind of surprised that nobody's brought up Brad+Artur's
Sys::Protect. It's designed to make it easier to isolate Perl 
to get a lot of the same benefits of PHP's "stuff doesn't leak between
page loads" design.
