Anyway, if you are comfortable with a web-based design, I would recommend PHP, since its the easiest to quickly learn and develop in,
Unfortunately, PHP doesn't have built in security checks that are important for web based apps.
There might be some PHP frameworks for access control and authorization. Afterall, almost all decent web-apps require this. I guess frameworks like PHPNuke would have it though I never looked at them. We developed an ASP framework for our Intranet and most of the logic and AC specifications are on the DB side so it won't be too difficult to adapt it to PHP.

That isn't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the -T switch in perl that turns on taint checking. Basically, perl will not execute your program if it appears that the programmer doesn't know what he's doing.
It checks all data for trustworthiness, and will not allow the use of untrusted data in certain situations (opening files, exec, etc.)
perl forces you to preprocess data that you've received from an untrustworthy source.
