  Hello,
  
  I'm came in contact with Perl 8 years ago. At that time we had to migrate the OS/2 and REXX based airport infrastructure of my company to Windows. WSH was not an option for us, and we needed something more than batch or shellscript processing.
  
  We introduced Perl to deploy and control the applications required for the passenger checkin and processing, do some reporting and interact with the system to query properties.
  Today we have a deployed base of 180 airports and nearly 10000 workstations.
  
  We do the development using the EPIC Eclipse plugin, which greatly enhances the code quality and the QA process (recommended!). I'm still missing the integrated Perl Unit testing under Eclipse.
  
  I touch all aspects of the Perl programming : DB Access, TCP/IP sockets, File and Data processing, Regex, Tcl/Tk, etc.
  
  Although I learned a few years ago Java, I still prefer Perl for a lot of tasks. It's simply faster and easier.
  
  My latest venue marries on a user's workstation a browser (Firefox preferred), web 2.0 look&feel and Perl as a local webserver and processing engine to replace several C/C++ based GUI's on various OS's. Maybe I publish that on CPAN ;)
  
  Cheers, Pascal
