in reply to Are we obsessed with CGI?

I have to date done one website with CGI, (perl and CGI.pm of course) and that was only so that I could learn how to do it a little bit.

I use Perl mostly for:
  • writing quick test tools for product testing
  • a ton of tools for monitoring network devices (switches, routers, gateways)
  • much log parsing
  • "compiling" little tools for Windows with ActiveState Dev Kit
  • Small frontends for test suites using WxPerl.

    So in my opinione there is much more at this site. The Code section is filled with samples of it.

    Happy experimenting :)
