> Worked as a Perl dev for 15 years and enjoyed it Similar situation here. Perl is awsome and I'm still bitter that Python won. I mean significant whitespace - what great madness is this??? Anyway, yes, mod_perl ran the Web for about a decade in the early 2000s and I built and maintained huge websites which were all Perl on the back end. BTW the book "Perl Best Practices" by Damian Conway [0] is the best general programming book I have ever read. Every software engineer should read it no matter what language they program in. So much good advice which applies to pretty much any significant software project. IMHO right up there with the "Mythical Man Month", though obviously much more low level.
