in thread OT: C Perl and every employer wants .net and asp

Although not geared for Perl, Oracle 9iAS does ship with mod_perl (since the server is based around Apache I don't suppose that it was much of a stretch for them). Not only that, but Perl is specifically mentioned in the documentation (even in a few diagrams), and Perl scripts are used to perform the post install configuration.

On a side note, I was recently on-site at a Java/Oracle shop helping them out with Oracle JMS Web Services (ie a SOAP server): whilst waiting for the 250MB of Oracle patches (yes, that's right 250MB!) to download/unzip/install, I installed Perl 5.6.1, SOAP::Lite and HTTP::Daemon and wrote a couple of dozen lines of Perl that did the same job as they'd been working on in Java for weeks.
