I haven't followed the Perl world at all for the last few years, but unless
some really dramatic changes have happened, I think a chess program
written in Perl would be slower than a Java program by at least an order
of magnitude.  Isn't Perl still dynamically typed without support for
type declarations?

There are much better languages for that kind of stuff, you know. ;-)
