Right on...that's what we use for a massive intranet application we
developed to interact with PostgreSQL...fast and awesome we love it...
We're also thinking about starting a non profit organization call NMMS
for no more Microsoft =) code name: project nemesis
We're looking to go to a completely non Microsoft environment in the
next year....Red Hat 8 didn't help that cause...=(

Rubbish. That's Pointy Haired Boss cant and you know it.
First of all, Java is hardly a "cutting edge compiled language"--it runs
as byte code on the JVM, which is no faster than Perl running CGI
programs using mod_perl and apache.
Second of all, .Net is not platform-independent. Do you *really* want to
get squeezed by the nuts by Microsoft every year or so for license
fees?
Third of all, and most importantly, is developer time. Perl is a
fully-fledged Rapid Application Development language that enables Perl
hackers to produce quality code much faster than their Java or C++
counterparts.
Perl is fast, easily scalable using Object Oriented Perl, and runs
securely on more platforms than Java.
