So it sounds like you're going with the Gartner definition. I think your frist sentence pretty much states its case without weasel words or smoke and mirrors. I'm not so sure that the rest that you include are part of the definition (that is, form a test that the software would have to pass) so much as state the likely consequences.

From that definition, "enterprise softwware" would either have to be this huge, monolithic system fully provided by one vendor, or all of the parts of a cobbled together system. From that, perl could be part of an enterprise software system, but it not itself.

I guess that makes sense.

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.
