Perl is fast, mod_perl etc are as fast if not faster then PHP when properly coded.
Perl is installed everywhere, if you find a *nix box that doesn't have it I'd be surprised.
It's very cool, very awesome at processing text files, nice and flexible regexp native in everything.
Don't under estimate Perl, it really is about the best language out there, just not the
most structured OO/MVC setup in the world.
Compiled C is also pretty cool, tho takes a bit more "noise" as you call it.
