Steve,
we've developed a bunch of web sites using our Xware web site management
system. From my experience, combination of apache+mod_perl+Mason+PostgreSQL
is a good choice. I don't think you need C/C++ backend. What's the win ?
Properly tuned apache+mod_perl has a great performance while being flexible.
