Perl core source code is tested using an open source software by Coverity, Inc:
Ben Chelf, Coverity’s CTO, commented that “of the LAMP stack, Perl had the best defect density, well past standard deviation and better than the average.”
Well, Perl demonstrated that it’s the best. At least in the LAMP (Linux, Apache, Mysql, Perl/PHP) area. But nobody knows about results of Java source code tests 😉
