... can't stop thinking that this is the area where Perl is being given less consideration and popularizing other languages.

People either find Perl to hard to learn, or the potential /possibilities/alternatives aren't being well publicized.

    For years, I'd been using Perl as a glue language and system administration helper. But (even though I came here fairly often) I was using PHP for my web stuff. I didn't even really think about Perl as an option, and I reinvented many wheels.

    Now that I've discovered CGI::Application / HTML::Template, I use 'em for pretty much everything.
