with PHP you have to do most stuff yourself while perl can make that shit for you with simple functions ?

I agree. however, OP can't have it both ways. It's either too bloated, or too sparse.

it can be bothways, if its bloat where it shouldnt be and too sparse where it shouldnt be too.

over 700 functions is quite a lot, i doubt you would really need this much.

php is great, I can kick out a site in record time and have it hosted on any number of shared host sites. And its very portable - there are fewer hosts supporting perl, ruby, asp, python. the library has all the functionality I need for the sites I make and extensions are plentiful.

simple, fast and easy.

some advice: don't let the perfect become the enemy of the good.

Right. In other words, every single form on your site provides direct access to your MySQL database.
