I've seen the single-vendor open systems solution before.  Oracle perfected it.
Be thankfulthey're using perl, and don't sweat the Java. It's easy enough to learn,
and can get you jobs in between perl work.  

My cheese has moved quite a bit lateley, and if my cheese turns from perl to java, or
.Net, then whatever.  I just like to write software. As long as I'm treated with respect,
the tools are not a huge deal.  Cold Fusion wasn't so bad, C# is Java in a microsoft polo 
shirt.

Oh, and Chuck, an object in perl is a blessed reference.

When you see somebody looking of OOperl, they want to be sure you've created objects of
you own.  It appears that soemwhere along the line, headhunters and hiring managers invented
the term OOperl, and it isn't good enough to just just know perl anymore, you have to know OOperl.
So learn those oo concepts, and read those design patterns.  2 4 6 8 everyone instantiate.
