you should use mod_perl, but it is *much* more then "CGI scripting on
steroids":

http://perl.apache.org/

mod_perl and PostgreSQL is a very good combination for middle to large web
applications. With mod_perl you have the *full* power of the Apache web
server, e.g. access to the Apache API and callback hooks.

Embperl (embedded Perl in HTML with automatic forms, tables, ..., see:
http://www.ecos.de/embperl/en/) with PostgreSQL is a very good combination
for small web applications. Easyer and much more powerfull then PHP.

You may also look here: http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/data/ for thousands
easy installable Perl modules (just type "cpan install Module::Name" and
wait), including DBI etc. Compare it with PHP ... OK, this was a joke.

Ciao
Alvar
