The dirty water you are trying to clear up is actually much cleaner than you thought or presented, at least in lots of other people's minds.

First of all, Perl is not enterprise software. Period. You have clearly said that you were interested in Perl advocacy. To make it fair and even, none of other programming languages is enterprise software. As a matter of fact, I never heard anyone said the opposite before. All what I have heard were things like, foo language can easily support enterprise software.

"Perl is decentralized though, so if it blows up in one place, it might be fine in another."

The above was just one example where you tried to fit Perl with the definition of enterprise software. Perl certainly has nothing to do with either centralize or decentralize. An application does, and that application could either be written in Perl, or Java, or some other languages.

To the minds of most people, Oracle is enterprise software. Oracle itself, or any other database system, is an application, and Oracle is at the high end among its peers.

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.


go ahead... be a heretic
