Extracted from the OpenSources book:
Amazon.com is also a heavy user of Perl. The Amazon.com authoring
environment demonstrates Perl's power to tie together disparate
computing tools; it's a "glue language" par excellence. A user creates
a new document with a form that calls up a Perl program, which
generates a partially-completed SGML document, then launches either
Microsoft Word or GNU Emacs (at the user's choice), but also
integrates CVS (Concurrent Versioning System) and Amazon.com's
homegrown SGML tools. The Amazon.com SGML classes are used to render
different sections of the web site--for example, HTML with or without
graphics--from the same source base. A Perl-based parser renders the
SGML into HTML for approval before the author commits the changes.
Something we can work towards in time to come, perhaps?
