Hi Trev,
	sorry, can't let you in on the secret to Java.  You will just have
to get the JDK.  The only real hassles (with Java) is some sub-standard
OS's don't multi thread too well; oh and yeah it takes a little bit to
wrap your brain around at first.
	Perl is good but I only seem to use it when talking to postgres,
if their is no actual need for a full data base I tend to use awk,sh and c
to get what I want.  Having run a text-database for years without hassles
it rarely seems worth the CPU cycles to run postgres.  Maybe once I have
a few more years of Perl I'll change my mind.
