The reason that gets said a lot is that the most common way to use Perl
in a website, CGI scripts, indeed does not scale well. It's relatively
slow and very difficult to maintain. But there are plenty of other
systems that scale extremely well, including the ones Marcel mentioned,
and my favorite, Mason (http://www.masonhq.com/).
