Use other language for the frontend may have some advantage. The first I see, is that you can have more developer available in other language to maintain the frontend.

It's easier to find PHP Zend developer than Perl Web developer. Also true for python.

We're exploring two options:

1. use Dancer to build the entire website

I don't quite understand how Python or Ruby is any better suited to creating a "rich website experience" than Perl. Front end is HTML, CSS and Javascript if you're using a REST API so using more than one server-side languaged doesn't make much sense to me.
