Conclusion

After doing a lot of research and playing around, I think I've decided to use mod_perl for the middleware layer (the protocol handler) and use PHP for the web crap... and just write some PHP functions that'll interface with the middleware. Sure, it'll be an extra socket open (currently the Perl code in BML calls the protocol handler directly) but I have to do it eventually when the middleware runs on its own heavy-duty box (dual P3-933, shitload of memory) and there's a farm of stupid web servers (not yet, but later). Yeah, the more I think about this the more I like it. I'll probably abstract the protocol handler while I'm at it and make it return a tree internally to a output engine that can format the response as XML (for XML-RPC, or people doing XSL), or the current "log.cgi" text file output format.
