If Java has Sun behind, is it in the same sense that C has (again)
Microsoft, Borland, or other compiler vendor behind? If not, what

No, I don't need to, unless they ask. We would just say, "We have
solution to solve your problem." But we have some other way to say
that we do it in Perl.
Well, of course, that's not much to perl advocay. I consider myself
