I have been using Perl since 2 yrs.
And I managed to imagine a soln for any requirement at work, with Perl.
I have been writing utility scripts that ease my work.
So I use it for:
> automate tasks
> parsing log files
> parsing excel, xml files
> generating excel files (reports basically)
> utility scripts (eg. play mp3 files)
The best was, a framework developed using only Perl to automate testing of Video Streaming.

I am amazed at the options Perl offers you to give a soln.

Truly, "You more than one way to do anything, with Perl"
