With all the respect, but your management don't know anything about Perl and Java. If you need to make a network statistics, I can guaranty to you that with Perl is much more easy (actually is perfect for that) and with Java will be a hell. But, good luck.

Is strange to see that:

"I started developing a tool in perl,now management wants me to shift to a java framework."

For me is strange, since I saw a lot of companies, big actually, that changed their Java system to Perl or PHP, after use Java for more than 5 years! I say that because I have worked as consultant for 7 shifting projects like that, all of them to change Java to Perl. And all the big companies said to me that they are just tired to spend time and money with Java, they just want results.

I can't forget to say what I listen one time about Java from the IT of a big ISP:

"If you have time and money to spend, use Java, if you wan't to win time and money use Perl".
