Hosting is still an issue since it requires mod_perl to run properly, but I've found Apache::ASP to be awesome after having used CGI, ColdFusion, and servlets/JSP. I say just colocate a server and use what's best for you if you can't find a host with the right stuff.
The big advantage that most people aren't mentioning much is speed of *development*! You can always throw more hardware at it if you find execution speed to really be an issue (I never have...mod_perl is plenty zippy for me). Hardware is cheap; programming effort is not. I am a Sun Certified Java programmer, but I can do the same things I can do in Java in Perl with probably 1/3 of the code. I've reached the point where the only reason I care about Java is for my resume. Perl is the language for getting things done!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
