The two issues are actually separate.  There's nothing making you use 
ActiveState Perl to run a PSGI app front-ended by native Windows Apache. 
 PSGI apps behind a reverse proxy simply present an HTTP interface to 
the proxy.  As far as the proxy server knows, the app providing that 
interface could be built in F#.

(Why F#?  Another new favorite tool, and about as different from Perl as 
you can get. :) )
