[Biojava-l] java or perl?

[Reynoldsvt]

Hi

I am just getting in the bioinformatics field, and I am wondering if easier
to design programs to perform bioinformatics task in java or perl.  I have
visited both biojava, and bioperl, and am not sure where to begin.

Specifically I am interesting in writing a program which queries the ACEDB as
I am compliling information for my own speicialized C. Elegans database.  I
was wondering which biojava package contained the java classes that would
allow me to do this.  I couldn't seem to locate the...your help would be
greatly appreciated...

thanks

Dave
