If you still consider Perl, I recommend checking out: Plack, AnyEvent::*, Catalyst/Dancer (depending on required complexity) for web stuff.

Perl libraries made a huge leap forward. And for me it was unnoticed.

If I'm not mistaken, libev and AnyEvent are designed by the same guy (and I think AnyEvent was what libev was created for).

Also, check out Coro (coroutines), Tatsumaki and plackperl.org for other awesome libraries and tools that rival and even surpass their counterparts in other languages.
