So in GUI development Java and .NET are clearly superior to Perl?

So Perl/Tk hasn't got a scratch on AWT/Swing or what is the GUI part of .NET?

How did you determine this?

I know J2SE and J2EE pretty well but most of my experience has admittedly been in Perl. To a certain extent comparing Java to Perl to .NET is comparing apples, oranges and bananas. Which is always the argument fallen back to by the loser in any technology comparison.

Fact is they are competing development targets, and Perl has little mindshare even though it seems to be more popular on some levels.
