... I would be unlikly to use Perl for a really large application ...

Actually, it is getting to the point now that rather few applications written in Perl need to be "really large", in terms of what the application developer needs to write from scratch.

I've created a number apps that are actually fairly small in terms of what I personally have written, but they do "really large" things that I couldn't dream of being able to do without the core and CPAN modules. I'm sure that if I joined all the modules for an app into a single set of source code, it would be a pretty large amount of code.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
