I assuming you mean CGI::Perl? Otherwise the question does not make much sense
anyway.
Servlets are compiled excutables that can run multi-threaded and can stay in
memory throughout of the life cycle of the web server, with the benefit of the
security provided by the web server and the session management provided by Java.
It also makes MVC model much easier to implement where the view is a servlet
that generate JSP files which in turn access JavaBeans. This makes it a better
CGI than Perl. Although you can look at each of these advantages in separation
for Perl, putting all these together for Perl to work is not that simple.
Other than that, Perl is still superior, in my opinion. For instance, if you
just want to generate some reports by parsing some log files or any text based
files, Perl is much more powerful that servlets.
