PHP: For the security vulnerabilities.
Perl: For the maintenance problem.

Yes, it depends on how big the problem really is and how complicated
the solution has to be. Are the files all in the same format? Do they
have to be parsed repeatedly? Will new versions of the files be
released? Will the parser output go straight to a Web page or will it
be stored somewhere?
