Hi Monks,

I'm currently working as a project manager in a compagny that is editing e-crm application dealing with corporate emails, Mail Center that is a kind of web call center and Direct Email that deals with email marketing campaigns.

Those two products use Perl, mod_perl, apache, postgres and some c++ on Corba for some services.

When we started developpement in 1999, Perl's choice was an evidence for us. 5 years later, i'm still a Perl fan and convinced that Perl is the techno we need.

but since two years, i hear some of our ingeneers complaining about Perl. The main problem is not that Perl suffers from this or that. Their main concern is about finding a future job where they can see Java everythere in jobs announces, and no Perl at all.

That's right that here in France we don't see many jobs opportunities with Perl.

As i was browsing around in perl advocacy sites, it seems that those infos are quite old, mainly around 2000.

The fact is that for many young people, Perl doesn't seems sexy anymore.

I was wondering if you know about some compagny and applications that are using Perl.

I can start the list with the ones worked with :

Interwoven CM suite (http://www.interwoven.com)

Akio Mail Center and Akio Direct Email (http://www.akio-software.com)



Thanks in advance,

Christophe Musielak
