I'm sorry, I don't see anywhere where I said there were only two ways.

That is what I take from "Back then you primarily went one of two ways, Perl & PHP.".
As if everything else wasn't worth mentioning.
Back on my little bubble, the options listed by me were much more relevant.
Back then you primarily went one of two ways, Perl & PHP. PHP was by far the lowest barrier to development. Easy to enable PHP support in webservers, easy to incrementally increase usage in your platform alongside any static HTML.
PHP + mod_php moved away from needing to know what was happening on the server side.
Perl and the other cgi-bin integrations could be complicated, involved, requiring more specific configuration on the server side. Sure, it's not _that_ hard to do, but it does present a barrier to entry that PHP / mod_php handily solved.
