One company mentioned their perl based large scale sns site at YAPC::Asia IIRC - sorry it might have been six apart as mentioned above, can't remember which. I do know they wrote their own system to be able to basically split and merge their user pool according to user name (alphabetical order) and splitting off to more servers when a given partition of the set got too full, which simplifies things.
