But, I think the main point was that it's faster to develop the system in Perl. And it is usually going to be more flexable and thus easier to maintain in Perl than Java. I'd tend to agree with this point, but will concede that it depends on the quality of developers on both sides of the fence; it's possible to write crappy perl that's not maintainable, it's also possible to write GREAT java that is as flexable and maintainable. I believe the latter will take a lot longer, and involve more highly skilled people to write than it will a good (GREAT?) perl version. -Scott

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
