I'm guessing you don't know what you're talking about?
PHP is not on 99% of servers. It's close to about 40% now i believe. Perl is just as capable of running as an apache mod or ISAPI as PHP is. In fact, in the last netcraft survey, mod_perl (the apache mod version of perl) was found on more servers than PHP was. PHP also runs in CGI mode by default on windows. Please get your facts straight.
Just a thought
