If you use Perl in CGI only then you seem to misunderstand lots of stuff. The Perl interpreter is loaded once per FastCGI task, so noone waits.... its the startup (which is then 100times faster against C# or Java, but whatever, not the topic). So please, dont compare Apples with Pears.

I rarely use Perl CGI. I haven't since about 2002.
Regarding C# and Java startup. It's not an issue. You can warm start appdomains/JVMs. We do this.
Once it's running, both Java and C# run rings around most things.
