Do you mean "big projects" or "production code". To me "production code" makes my workplace productive - I have a pile of Perl script sitting there doing that job: Perl is hugely productive.

On the other hand I would be unlikly to use Perl for a really large application - Perl provides far too much rope and no tensioners to manage the slack. The bottom line is that there is no one language that is best for everything. Perl is damn fine for a lot of stuff and can be written to be maintanable for sure. I've even had to maintain some of my own code so I know it's possible. :)

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.
