You should take a look at ePerl. First, it also uses the .phtml
extension, so not all the .phtml files are PHP3 after all. Second, it
also lets you embed perl code into HTML very easily (just write code
between <? !> tags). And you retain all the power of perl, which is
obviously a lot. It can also be used with mod_perl for caching
compiled code and preventing forks for preprocessing the documents,
making them very fast.

Using today's server requirements, Linux is a credible alternative to
commercial developed servers in many, high volume applications.
