While you are pointing out strengths of java... I see flaws. As you list ways to do things in Java, I see but one for each application. In Perl I see many. Things like LWP are an encompassing package that keeps a decent standard within itself, but if I don't like LWP, there are other fish in the sea. I prefer to go with a package because it suits my needs, rather than, "everyone else uses it, and nothing else comes close". Granted if you want to switch later on, it is not always easy, but with good engineering there is always the possiblility of making an application tier to interface with these modules. Since it is perl, it should be easy to do and rapid to develop.

From my experience with java, I never thought the words 'easy', or 'rapid'... :)

But then, to each their own, if it weren't for diversification and differing opinions we'd all be programming in something really awful right now :)
