Here are a few random points i like to add to all that has been said by the others:

Unicode support in Perl is solid. But it's up to you to make sure in many cases that you encode/decode UTF8 when transfering data in and out of Perl.
When communicating with other programs on Linux, try to use Unix Domain Sockets (IO::Socket::Unix) instead of TCP. This has much less overhead and higher transfer rates.
As the author of that system, i simply have to flog Net::Clacks as a nice library to do interprocess communication between Perl programs, see Net::Clacks for IPC (2024 tutorial).
If you are in a position to choose a database for your project, i strongly recommend PostgreSQL. It's fast, reliable, lots of features. Best of all, server side scripting (functions, triggers) can be written in Perl.
My own PageCamel web framework has no real documentation, i can't recommend you use it for your project. But feel free to "borrow" any code snippets you like.
You have the option to run server-side JavaScript in Perl using JavaScript::Embedded, see also Re: Trying to translate overflowing JS code to Perl
If you need to work with C code/C libraries, you can try using Inline::C before going the XS route.
Don't be shy outputting lots of data to the Terminal. Perl and modern terminal emulators are quite fast: "Terminal Velocity" demo. See also "Terminal Velocity", a better Linux terminal graphics demo.
When working in the terminal (locally or ssh) and you want to make sure you work with the correct image file, imagecat2 got you covered: Re: Imagecat - show color images in a terminal
If your webserver needs to stream videos (recorded or live), it's easy enough to do with HLS: Video streaming module
