A more concise, but less fun, question would be, "What don't you use Perl for?" The lists would be much shorter. :)

  • Blog platform (in Catalyst).
  • Parsing data from diving websites and writing into Excel sheets.
  • Server health checkups.
  • Converting broken, nasty Project Gutenberg HTML to clean XHTML and automatically posting it.
  • Ajax forms and user voting.
  • Jokes, like Acme::LOLCAT.
  • RSS/Atom writing and reading.
  • Automatic tear down and rebuilding of databases; DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader + DBICx::Deploy.
  • Reminder emails.
  • Date counters and parsers.
  • Graphing weblog stats.
  • Filtering mixed text+html perfectly to clean XHTML with DWIM paragraphs and newlines.
  • Perl code coloring.
  • Chat server.
  • Typographical auto-markup; e.g., (r) --> ®.
  • RTF --> HTML.
  • CSS collapsing and style inlining.
  • Perl controlled rsync as part of build scripts.
  • Colored XHTML document revision diffs.
  • Tax calculators.
  • Order tracking and manipulation.
  • Language translation services.
  • Search engines; raw, metaphone, vector.
  • DB --> YAML --> DB.
  • MP3 manipulation.
  • Image stamping.
  • Et cetera, et cetera

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
