What sort of load do you have? Our radius server is written in perl
and processes around 70 auths / second and just over 100 accounting
requests / second. Radius lives on 2 machines currently, both cheap
dell 400SC machines w/ 1gig ram.
I use embedded perl for nearly everything in Exim, the ACLs (for the
most part, I've replaced Exim's hints anywhere I can) since I wanted
distributed control over message rejection.
Our MySQL backends have no problem satisfying 2k queries / second.
This is why I'm a little suprised when people say Perl (espically
embedded perl) isn't up to the task.
