Wow, what a treat to have such a sleeper of a list as BNE-PM only to see it 
wake up as it has recently...

Interestingly, organisations such as Gartner and the Meta Group list J2EE 
and .NET as the only two architectures to be considered in the Enterprise 
space.  Other technologies don't get a mention any more.  Mind you, it is 
with .NET that perl fits in to that equation with Active State''s .NET 
implementation of perl.  Has anyone used that?  Is it a viable perl product?
