My group is the Perl store in an organization that is very heterogeneous. Although we support an odd installation in Java, PHP, or Python, we use Perl for almost all of our web application and systems / data compilation applications. All our mailboxes are Linux, although we also interact with IIS systems.
We, under the pressure of any pressure from the management, will move to Java, at least to some of our work. I would like to use the right tool for the right task, but for our work and thanks to our collective experience, Perl seems to be the right tool for everything.
My initial thought was to use Java for applications open to the organization as a whole, since there is more of a clear Java mind than Perl.
Does anyone have a similar experience? If they give me a choice, what tasks should we start with Java? What tasks should we insist on using Perl? Does it really matter? Why or why not?
