Tag libs. This is a big one. No other web language has anything compairable to java's tag libs. It allows an HTML-only type person to be able to modify the page without any understanding of programming
I reckon you haven't heard of AxKit (http://axkit.org), one of the most popular web-application servers in perl? XML-based and supports taglibs. Among the other tools I know of that employ taglibs are HTML::Webmake (http://perl.apache.org/embperl/) - for delivering static web pages) and HTML::Embperl (http://perl.apache.org/embperl/) - perl embedded in HTML/XML.
Apache + Mod_Perl vs. WebLogic/WebSphere/Apache+Tomcat/JBoss, etc. Efficency and Speed.
Speed? Many of the websites that use java as a server technology are so bloated. The one I hate most is ft.com. I once even suggested them to switch to perl cos as it is now the site is nearly unusable. Effeciency? These technologies might be efficient for certain types of web applications, but quite often you are muche better off without them. Ah, but I know java people are so fond of grand words (enterprise, web logic and the like)
If you are relying on DBs, EJBs and caching and other J2EE technologies make everything faster and more efficient. Perl has no compairing technologies.
Could you elaborate on that and tell us what kind of magic do these technologies do and which other technologies that you have used are slower and less efficient?
