in reply to Reporting

I use perl for reporting every day.

It reads from the database, pops the data into HTML::Template and then fires it off to the waiting screen.

It is also used for bunches of other stuff also...

    I don't know if you can call "reporting" every Perl program that produces output. I think that in original context, the author meant the long-forgotten (by most Perl programmers, AFAIK) use of formats.
