I'm a little confused. Are you saying that PHP forces you to use them, and Perl somehow doesn't? That's simply not true.
None of the search engines have the problem solved of indexing dynamic sites. In my experience Google is better at it, but that may be more a function of where our sites sit in terms of PageRank, which perhaps causes them to do a complete crawl. Having other sites that link to those internal (dynamic) URLs is no doubt a big help as well.
RDD: if you're still around, you should look at IIS Rewrite (
http://www.iisrewrite.com) - it works pretty much the same as Apache's mod_rewrite.
