This is off-topic but is off incidental interest to servlet programmers. The big difference between any servlet system and Apache::mod_perl is that the requests in a servlet system are dealt with by threads whereas Apache (at the moment) has to spawn a process to deal with each request. This is slighlty less efficient. However... Perl is a very good string handling language and can be made to do things that are more tricky to do in Java. It's also closer to the machine than Java (because of Java's abstraction) so it's easier to integrate other code into a Perl system than Java. Apache 2.0 will support the pThreads system I believe so it will be interesting what the performance difference is when that is done. For now, personally, I would recomend servlets. Java is a more restrictive language but better designed for OOP, which is such a powerfull paradigm that it gives us a great advantage.
