Everyone does PHP these days. Why do you think that is? PHP is VERY easy to understand and anyone can learn it. Perl isn't nearly as newbie friendly as PHP but as far as your remark about stressing the server, that is total horseshit.
What are you talking about? PHP is made to run on webservers, perl isn't, its easier because it's a better language, faster to code in, making the scripts cheaper.

Perl stresses the server like hell, I KNOW what I'm talking about. Perl has just more functionality (not only CGI) and that's the only reason some people learn perl instead of PHP. I don't have that need, I code in Delphi (and Pascal) also.
