Well, it's would seem that Perl in large corporations is for quick tools
where we support them ourselves. Noone is going to lose $15 million an
hour due to a broken SA tool...though they might when Netscape has a
threading issue on a new version of Solaris and the support teams duke it
out trying to blame the other before Sun issues a test patch to help
determine where the issue really is.

Perl just isn't in the same paradigm as Java, et. al. It's useful for what
it does but it just isn't going to get adopted in the same way as other
commercial solutions are.
