in thread Perl vs Java in Heavyweight Filesystem Processing

Actually, I suspect Perl will mop the floor with Java in this case, unless someone goes to great lengths to use the new direct io classes in the latest Java release. This is not a case where a small script is being launched over and over (which would favor a persistent environment over CGI), but rather a very heavy script that is run infrequently. In that situation, the actual file-processing speed is much more important than the startup time.
