Is it true that Perl is inferior to these 2 languages?
Yes. On the last list of language (all 5478 of them) which was ranked from superiour to inferiour Perl was way below Java or ASP. In the 49 years that this list was published by the ACM, noone has ever questioned its ranking.

In an article discussing this list, prof. J. K. M. W Blitznekowska said that she expected perlmonks.org to close shop before then end of the year.
