Three part longish question to explore the scope of Perl's power.
Since there are so many heavy-hitters here, this, I hope, should get
some very interesting info.
- What is the largest system|code|site you have
(>=90% of the work was your own) supported|created|inherited which
was primarily in Perl?
- What are the main strategies|techniques|modules|brands-of-coffee that
allowed you to pull it off (how about a bulleted list)?
- What was the single biggest mistake (most costly to your own time) you
made while doing it?
Thanks!
Addition: Excellent stuff so far! Keep it coming. I'll see about doing a précis of the replies when the thread has died down.

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.
