<p>I feel your pain! And have felt it for the last four years or so as I'm in a Websphere shop. I refuse to defend WebSphere as I think its a mockery of J2EE. However, when you have to scale applications that will run upwards of 5000 transactions/minute and share code and applications accross a hundred departments you quickly see where Perl just isn't the best tool for the job.</P>
<p>I've always stuck my nose into every enterprise Perl discussion hoping to either think or discover an angle that would make it more palatable to large corporations beyond that of a batch/scripting language. At this point I'm realizing Perl does what it does. Inspires inovation, solves crises, and gives me an edge over other developers when the heat is on. I find I'm not looking to make Perl into what it isn't, but constantly looking for where I can take advantage of it as it is.</p>
