Anything. Well, common stuff like web frontends, log parsing, sysadmin task in general, but then some odd uses in which perl shines, too, amongst them:
- shell (well, job control is lacking still)
- patch e.g Windows DLLs (proprietary stuff) to convert English messages to German, and other random hackery on binaries
- make our Java Witnesses emit shrieks of horror and go dump core - things done while they still debate interfaces
- avoid touching the stinkin' crappy SAP GUI
- just prove "it's possible"
- bend and twist my OS to rendition
- decorate myself with an aura of rare weirdness for using such an exotic tool
- ... (to be continued)
So, little useful stuff, except where needed. (update) Needed things:
- tools for de-centralized management of centralized DNS and DHCP resources (think QIP)
- glueing handles to SAP
- directory (as in X.400, LDAP etc) munging
- ... (to be continued)
