Thanks a lot for all your answers!

There were some new points to me in your postings, and some that I had already thought about, like that the culture would be a bit boring. I also think java is not as much TMTOWTDI than perl right?

But well the most important points for me to learn java are:
  • Learn more about OO-Coding
  • Know another widely spread language is always good
  • Java doesn't seem to be bad at all
  • It's always fun to learn something new -> that's what it's all about right? :)

    • So my final conclusion is to go for the java-thing, but also try to still code as much perl as possible...
