Mine was to write a document-management system for Paine Webber.
Of course, I had the advantage of working with two or three other Perl programmers, all of whom were substantially skilled. Still, that was how I first got exposed to the language. (AFAIK, PW is still using that system; they hired the original team, including me, back a year later to expand it. It was pretty cool too...it could manage 100,000s of docs, could do fax, email, etc. And this was all back in 1996 or so.)
