Hi monks, when going through the postings on this site, one often sees people mentioning their projects, I'm wondering whethere there is a place where people can talk about how they're using perl, for fun or for work. The section on "cool uses of perl" is cool for those "out of the square" uses, but I think there should be a place for talking about some not-so-cool, yet real-life and/or business uses of perl. I'm not looking for justification of perl, just want to see all the infinite possiblities of its use, many of those will be truely refreshing. I'm especially interested in learning about large scale perl projects, since most of mine are relatively small (except websites which can grow anyway they warant.)
