You better have one of those "powers that be" give those crazy folks at amazon.com a call and let them know that they are using an insecure product for their little shopping site.
Seriously though, amazon.com uses Mason (http://www.masonhq.com/?AmazonDotCom) which uses mod_perl which uses perl. They probably do more money based transactions per day than any other web site (except perhaps ebay - not sure what they use), and they trust mod_perl.
Not mod_perl specific, but most of the large financial houses use perl+dbi for their work also. They don't publish the fact (or much else about their internal workings) but our language does the deed on Wall Street.
The perl advocacy group's 'success stores' page has quite a few more.
