I think your last point is the most valid.  There's no shame is
preferring the lang you know best to solve any given problem
(including network programming).

In most cases, I believe Java's verbosity is a feature not a flaw.
However, if verbosity were a superhero then perl would be its arch
nemesis.  So I can see your distaste considering your comfort with the
"perl way" (tm).  Ironically, I use both java and perl...  Yes, I'm a
conflicted person.
