Jaime,
Pardon me if this is out of the scope of your request , but having used
PHP, Perl , Java , C and Ruby for Web projects,
when dealing with heavy DB accesses, I would consider using Java.
Jboss[or Tomcat] comes to mind, it is also in line with your Opensource
strategy.
Security wise you can front it with apache and configure it to the level of
security your app requires [in addition to HTTPS,etc..].
Hopes this helps.
With Best Regards

I am in the process of planning a huge project.
It will be web based with heavy database accesses.
Since I am have more programming experience with Perl,
I prefer using it. However several people have suggested
using PHP + MySQL + Apache combo.
If you are given the choice, what will you choose?
a) MySQL + Perl + modPerl + Apache + Linux
or
b) MySQL + PHP + Apache + Linux
I hope you could give me some of the insights I dont know
about the two in terms of program efficiency as well as
"maintainability".
regards,
Jaime

One of the biggest points of concern is security. When a script is written
correctly in perl, it's fairly bulletproof. I personally would not use PHP
for anything that could cause legal problems or loss of revenue if/when
it's
hacked.
