instead of CGI use mod_perl, it will compile your perl programs after the 
first time you run them, and keep a contant link to the database, so the
performance issue is negligible. 

I could give a presentation on this at the June 7th meeting, and I have a
friend thats done a little with PHP, so i'll see if he can help.
