| Related to this:  Is there a market for Perl shareware?

Possibly.  I haven't seen much of it, that's for sure.  I suspect it's because
it's too easy to write applications in Perl most of the time.  But large
projects might well find a niche for this.

| Any ideas for application areas?

Telephony.  E-commerce modules (like a module that just handles the credit-card
side of stuff, so you could plug it into a custom storefront).  Project-
management software.  There's stuff out there already for some of this, but
currently, it's pretty lame.
