I think it's ideal because it is so good at doing other things as well. 
Like it came up in the meet, if you have a web app a puny language like 
PHP may be usable at first and appear a good solution. But as soon as 
your app grows you're going to end up doing more and more admin 
scripting to manage the data and other parts. Certainly nothing will 
beat perl at this. I've seen people try to use PHP for syadmin, it's 
just not cut out for it. So you're better off using Perl for everything 
rather than a PHP (or whatever) front end with Perl, etc, in the background.
  Perl wasn't specifically designed for web frameworks, but like a lot 
of other things it does the job very well, and in my opinion is the best 
solution :)
