I don't want to start a flamewar (my perl is better than your java ;)
but I'd like to add that I yet have to come across a problem which can
be solved in java and can't in perl because the later is "just too limiting".
And before this goes out of proportion I'd like to add that I have used
both perl and java on commercial projects. Both languages have their
pros and cons. Being generally limited IMO isn't among the cons of either.
IMO the main advantage java has above perl is there is no such think as
a jsp framework in perl-land (though I'm convinced it could be made).
Again: I don't want to start a flamewar.
Best,
Michael
