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

Of course if you wanted to start a real flame war you might start talking 
about creating web applications under IIS/ASP. After all, this technology 
probably has more market share than java. You could probably use all the 
same arguments for using ASP as those for using java (eg packaging, 
distributed source code etc).

BTW: when I posted my reply to Tony/Derek's original message I had assumed 
the web app would only be on a single machine and that issues like 
distribution would not enter into the equation.

No, I don't think we've descended into flame war territory just yet. I'm 
genuinely interested in knowing, if I was asked to do a web application, 
why I shouldn't just use Perl. Some interesting reasons are coming out 
of the woodwork, like packaging.
