Perl is a general purpose programming language and has great skills in using databases.

A billing application will typically use a log-file or database to collect the data and then munge these data to calculate what is due and issue an invoice. This is a very typical application for Perl. Many thousands of such applications will be around.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
