>> So, at the end of LA.pm this month one of our fellow mongers (I forget his
>> name, sorry) was talking about how he wished there were more "flagship" Perl
>> applications that could illustrate the power of perl to a more general
>> audience.  PHP has Drupal, Wordpress, Mediawiki, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.
>> Java has Hadoop, Cassandra, etc, etc, etc.  These flagship applications
>> provide the underlying language an automatic approval to the users of those
>> applications.  People who do not code in PHP or Java know of these
>> applications and what language they were written in because these
>> application proudly state what language(s) they are using.  This means that
>> managers, etc, are exposed to these languages as providing high quality and
>> highly complex software.

>> So, what I'm wondering is, what does perl have?

>> I know of one off the top of my head:  TWiki (http://twiki.org/)
>>
>> I'm sure there are more.  Melody (the really open source version of
>> Movable Type) will fall in this list once its released, I'm hoping.

>> And, if the person who brought this point up in the first place at LA.pm
