My main usage of Perl for my profession is writing synchronisations between different kind of databases (e.g. synchronisation tools to metadirectories), and sometimes web programming with mod_perl (see http://develop.perl-community.de/ as an example) and sometimes CGI, Tk for administration tools and user applications, oneliners in the shell (e.g. filtering ldif-files perl -i.bak -ne '$/="\n\n";print unless /^attribute: value$/m' filename, which may be the reason why I never can't remember the exact syntax of some unix shell programs). As a hobby, I try about everything because I've found out that perl is the best game I know...

Main operating systems: Solaris, Linux, Win2003/XP/2k
