I often use Perl for heavy I/O tasks - processing gigabytes worth of logs, for instance.
I agree on realtime, as long as it's hard realtime like process control, where you need to know average and maximum times for each program segment. Perl is OK for soft realtime i.e use interaction. Agree on signals and closed source. One category I'd add: PalmOS applications. I haven't yet been able to find a Perl that would run on my Tungsten. In reply to Re: What is Perl *NOT* good at?
