As a 'professional', I turn to the tool that does the job I need done.
If I want to add image mouse-overs to my page, I'll use Javascript. If I
want to program a database back-end, I'll use perl.
In general, I'm not a big fan of Javascript because of the various
implementations which cause browser problems for my users. I also never
depend on JS being active. For any 'must-have' functionality, including
validation, I'll use perl for CGI work.
