Well, I didn't see the rest of this thread, but we are an Apache/Perl/MySQL shop. We write all of our software to be run as a web-based app. We store our data in the MySQL backend, and use perl to deliver to the web. I feel somewhat the opposite, in that the reason we DO use MySQL is for all of it's features and reliability.
As far as the subject of this thread, goes "perl vs php", well, you did email the perl list ;). If you have further questions, I can give you some pointers if you are interested off the list. We've done much research on all of this and are very happy with our results. Perl's modules (especially DBD-mysql and DBI) make MySQL/perl integration with a website very robust and easy to use.
