Wrong comparison!

Maybe, however, there is something to gain by migrating from perl cgi to php.

Yes, you can gain a lot going from Perl-CGI to PHP.

But I think you'll gain a lot more by going from Perl-CGI to mod_perl/$templating_solution (one of Template Toolkit, Mason, HTML::Template, and so on).

I wish people would stop comparing Apples and Pineapples. CGI is CGI. It forks for each call. Embedded processors (like ASP, JSP, PHP, and mod_perl) work within the server. No forking. Faster. Cooler.
