If you plan building a site with 400000 hits per day, may I suggest you to
start reading some documentation about the underlying principles and
architecture of web programming. Just to know how PHP, Javascript, cookies
and, why not, cgi/perl, work in this kind of environment.
Just to answer your question about perl : it won't be faster with perl
than with PHP.
And, for your information, NEVER ask a PHP programmer if it wouldn't be
faster to use a Perl script ;-)
