Interesting comment.  Where do you see this?  The only place I see
Perl being replaced with Java is in the Java Servlet world.  It'd
still be a cold day in hell before many DBAs and sysadmins changed
from Perl to Java, I'm thinking.  And the death of Perl in the web
world is greatly exaggerated, I think: mod_perl usage grew by 450,000
hosts in the last two months, and the number of hosts doubled in the
last four months.

It's hard to categorize that as being steamrolled.
