Ok short and sweet.

I'm at an interesting crossroads at my company. We require some web applications to be developed that will allow our customers access to view product inventory levels.

I have an opportunity to select a toolset that we will utilize to develop this application and am torn between a java "app server" like Enhydra (www.enhydra.org) and a perl solution like HTML::Mason

I am looking for feedback from the community regarding experiences had using perl and or java. This thread about java and perl was very helpful, but really didn't give me any insight as to which toolset could be considered a better fit.

From the get-go internally we have more experience using perl than using java. That to me means choose perl, but I am seeking advice that might have a different view.

Thanks!
