[BNE-PM] What do you use Perl for?

Mostly text/content analysis uses for me. Lots of splitting up text to 
analysis chunks
then implementing a variety of dictionaries & word county type things. I've 
also used
it a bit for accessing online content for text analysis or just data 
gathering via
HTML::Parser and ::TreeBuilder. Latest (and most sophisticated) use has been to
create a custom browsing/charting/analysis database interface for looking 
at the course
experience questionnaire stuff that Oz tertiary students complete after 
graduating.
DBI::, Text::Query::Advanced & the beautiful Tk:: family helped me out
here. Love the Tk - although I *really really* need to print multiple pages 
of a
large canvas object and it doesn't seem to want to oblige.
I don't have an IT background so I'm still trying to drag myself out of the 
clueless
newbie box. Cheers.
