<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">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.<br>
<br>So, what I'm wondering is, what does perl have?<br><br>I know of one off the top of my head: TWiki (<a href="http://twiki.org/" target="_blank" class="vt-p">http://twiki.org/</a>)<br><br>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.<br>
<br>And, if the person who brought this point up in the first place at LA.pm could speak up and maybe talk about what you were thinking that would be great.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Aran<br>
