If you want Perl and Mac OS in web serving, I imagine WebTen is the best,
based solely on its architecture, which is basically a little Unix
emulation (like its big brother product MachTen).

If you want to use WebSTAR or something, you can get much better
performance from AppleScripts and Frontier (I think), simply because
MacPerl can only execute one script at a time.  However, when this changes
(we hope), then MacPerl will be a much more attractive alternative.
