Perl & Java

My wife needs a small utility program to keep track of the hours she works, and what she should be getting for her paycheck.
I've decided to write two versions: one in Perl, one in Java, and see how they compare. I think I'll also set them up to use Postgresql, and MySQL, and see how it feels working on both databases.
I can hardly wait. One thing I've already noticed, Java takes quite a bit of setup to do anything...


let us know

Sounds like a nice little experiment. I hope you'll post your findings!

Yes, I think I will..
Things like how many lines of code, what libraries used, how fast they work, etc.
Thanks for the idea...
