First up, you have picked one of perls strongest features to beat one of Java's weakest. If you compared opening a window and displaying a list of selections, I think I know which language would come out ahead.

That's a loaded statement and you know it. I have been developing Perl applications to "open a window and display a list of selections" for almost 10 years, and it's really really easy. It requires a web browser and a web connection. Oh, is that what Java tends to require as well? Oh, do my CGI scripts work with more browsers and more OSes? Oops.

And, if you're talking about stand-alone systems, I've got a webpage that acts as its own secure server (though this only works with browsers that understand ActiveX). Oops, did I just beat you again?
