This is, probably, true. That doesn't prevent there being a huge role for
Perl.

One thing to remember is that the hype cuts two ways. We may read in a
magazine of ten projects using Java, and none using Perl, but that is as
much because the companies that are using Perl don't bother sending press
releases to everyone than it is because no one is using Perl.

I'd also add that Java, to my eyes, seems dreadfully uncooperative. Is it
really as hard as it seems to get a non Java program to talk to j2ee stuff?
Or is it all just part of the Java marketing? Is it me or is COM actually
way easier to use than CORBA?
