There is a PHP-alike. Actually several: Apache::ASP, Mason, Embperl. I find Apache::ASP to be the most transparent for newbies. Installation is not trivial though, and that's a difference that is hard to overcome.

    Apache::ASP rocks!

    It's not really that had to install. Several distributions have working versions of Apache 2 and mod_perl as prebuilt packages, and installing is just a matter of using CPAN:

    perl -MCPAN -e shell # install Apache::ASP

    And a few config file lines.

    For anyone who hasn't tried Apache::ASP, it's worth the install.
