Re3: Multi tiered web applications in Perl

I do write serious Perl applications for my day job. A few examples of apps I've heard about:

An application that will take inputs in nearly every format known to man (including screen scrapes of vt100 terminals), munge the input according to arbitrarily-defined rules, then output it in any number of outputs, defined at run-time?
An application that securely handles over M$100 in seed orders yearly.
E-Toys, the most-hit website behind E-bay and Amazon.

Would those qualify as serious web apps?

I'm not questioning the seriousness of your projects. I was questioning the language that you used when you said, "90% of every Perl application has already been written, tested, and deployed." Maybe it is a silly thing to harp on, but it is patently false. -- dug	[reply]
