I want to write some stand-alone scripts to do simple P4 operations, but later on, I want to make them web-accessable and (probably) more complex. Would you reccommend:

Java? Perl? PHP? something else?

I guess this is a religious question.

Definitely a religious question, but I'd have to whole-heartedly recommend Ruby
(so would the author of the Ruby API's ;>) I've had to write about 250K of Ruby scripts for our company's use of Perforce
and it's been working extremely well.
