I use PHP with my Postgresql and haven't hit a limitation yet.
As far as perl goes, I know some web develoeprs for a consulting firm that
use Solaris and they are pretty tight in the industry. Their advice to me
was that if I already don't know Perl, don't learn it. They said to take
the Java route. They also were fond of PHP. In a nutshell, they said Java
will phase out most large perl implementations (new clients tend to be
developed in java, old code is redone, etc.)
As for me, I was thinking about trying java server pages, just for the fact
that you can technically use Java for every level of development.
