However talking about speed alone, the links you provided are way too old. Not sure whether any one compared java 6 and perl 5.10	[reply]

First of all, you misunderstood my OP, I wasn't comparing speed. For what I am doing, and for lots of other things, as long as there is a fair speed, either language is viable. My point is that, since Java supports regex with no performance drawback, perl cannot win regex argument any more - meaning perl loses one of its strength - or to be more precise, what was perl's strength along is now shared by many other languages including java.

Don't send old stuffs from 3 or 4 years ago to me, will you? Both java and perl advanced.	[reply]
