The .Net framework is language independent but OS dependant on Windows
The J2EE framework is Operating system independant but language dependent on Java (or so the name implies)

Frameworks and Application Service provision seem to be the latest buzz. So here we are eager to jump on a bandwagon and the idea of all those standards sounds good. But where does Perl stand in all this. Will we have to ditch it and move to C# or Java. I understand .Net is language independant I assume this means it will be possible to use Perl under .Net, does this mean the Perl legions must align themselves with Microsoft? Everything seems to be Sun Vs Microsoft with Perl and Linux curiously inbetween.

We use LDAP for single sign on and now the liberty alliance has a rival to passport we being nix based will probably choose their 'standard'. We also use Linux and Solaris so everything appear to be slanted away from .Net but Sun appears to have little interest in Perl due to Java.

I see Perl Enterprise Framework is a J2EE style Framework and I hope this stops Perl being squeezed out. The men at the top and big business appear to have a straight choice when it comes to Enterprise. If Perl could align itself with both sides it may truely be the glue language.

Unfortunately Perl is viewed in some quarters as old fashioned because of the lack of emphasis in ASP and frameworks. If you beleive the propaganda there is no room for Perl in the future of delivering applications over the web.

Which framework should I and Perl choose or will it all disappear into the winds of marketing propaganda.
