Anything. Well, common stuff like web frontends, log parsing, sysadmin task in general, but then some odd uses in which perl shines, too, amongst them:
  • shell (well, job control is lacking still)
  • patch e.g Windows DLLs (proprietary stuff) to convert English messages to German, and other random hackery on binaries
  • make our Java Witnesses emit shrieks of horror and go dump core - things done while they still debate interfaces
  • avoid touching the stinkin' crappy SAP GUI
  • just prove "it's possible"
  • bend and twist my OS to rendition
  • decorate myself with an aura of rare weirdness for using such an exotic tool
  • ... (to be continued)

So, little useful stuff, except where needed. (update) Needed things:

  • tools for de-centralized management of centralized DNS and DHCP resources (think QIP)
  • glueing handles to SAP
  • directory (as in X.400, LDAP etc) munging
  • ... (to be continued)

--shmem

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
