[plug] programming

How so?

I've never seen a desktop application written in Perl...  I have seen it 
used it in many places as a data filter, such as between a form and a db 
or filesys, or between a db or fs and a report, or between a form and 
sendmail (etc).  The other class I can think of is server application 
and I haven't seen too many of them written in Perl either :-)

Maybe that's just how *I've* seen it used before though...  Examples of 
other types of apps written in perl anyone?

P.S. I once heard someone say that Microsoft as a corporation wasn't 
evil...  I don't think my comment could compare to that in falseness, no 
matter how off the mark I am ;-)
