I assume you mean Perl CGI - there are many programming languages that can
run as a CGI. PHP installed as an Apache module will in general run scripts
faster than a Perl CGI or PHP CGI. PHP works great for file handling
scripts, though as your files grow you'll probably want to consider using
databases instead of flat files.
