While not Perl, about 10 years ago worked on a database/trading-analysis system written entirely in APL. It was a commercial system, running on Intel PC's of the day (286/386/486). Allowed for rapid development / changes, and customizations for each site. Had roughly 200 clients when I left. Not shrink-wrapped software, but good for their niche.
A benefit of an interpreted language and remote-access software, was we could dial-up, step through the program, debug & fix. The curse of that environment was, we could dial-up, step through the program, debug & fix... the main developers often used customers as alpha-testers.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
