Immagine you have to run the script with a different UID from that of the web server: a cgi script can be run suid, instead a mod_perl script runs inside the httpd process with the same UID. an other reason could be portability: cgi run almost everywhere, if you don't control the server where your script run maybe your oly choice is cgi.
