Their main point was that java only spawned one process and could handle hundreds of users and that perl, on the other hand, could not.
They're spouting nonsense, probably based on simple ignorance. I've worked on a Perl-based application server that could handle thousands of HTTP requests per minute, corresponding to several hundred logical sessions. We were limited by the network pipe more than we were by CPU. The advantage you get over quicker time-to-market can offset quite a bit of scalability for many applications.
