Folks, I am trying to convince my company on using Perl vs the JavaScript framework. I am leaning on Perl (since I have been using it for a while). However I do not know how Perl scales when it comes to handling thousands of hits per hour. I am not even sure what kind of stack/tools need to be in place for that to happen as far as perl is concerned. So far i have only used Perl on simple Perl-MysQL (or MSSQL) projects that had to handle a few hundred to little less than 2000 hits per hour. Is it safe to assume that Perl (or PHP) is suitable only as far as handling few hundred requests are concerned. Anything more requires JSP or Node stacks ?
