mapserver supports cgi, fastcgi, php, perl, mod_perl, and probably more. 
  I use mod_perl/mapscript myself.

Ick.  I'v played with geoServer and hated the web admin tool.  Could not 
find a damn thing.  Hated setting up layers cuz you have to know the 
magic click sequence.  Not for me.  With a .map file I can write code to 
generate one, or template it, or any other thousand options.  Give me 
vim and .map any day of the week.  Also, I cant stand xml.  Hate it bad. 
  really  bad.
