Err...  There are a bunch of different ways to do that in Perl.  I use
Apache::ePerl on www.luci.org and www.silug.org...  See

    http://springfield.pm.org/meetings/apache.html

for how to set it up.

I hate to start a language war, but PHP is a hideous piece of crap.  See

   http://www.securityfocus.com/templates/archive.pike?part=.1&list=1&mid=194488

Granted, I'd rather see people use PHP than the closed-source
alternatives, but I prefer solutions that use real languages (even
real languages I don't like) like Zope or the various mod_perl
ePerl-like solutions.
