Sometime people wonder why I use Perl when there are so many new languages available. Part of it is habit, of course, but part of it is that Perl is an excellent language for building web-based applications. The proof is in the progeny. This is a page listing a large number of Perl-based applications (I will eventually ask them to add gRSShopper, but it's still too difficult to install). You'll recognize many old favorites in there, new and old - Bugzilla, LiveJournal, Twiki, Majordomo, AWstats, Spamassassin, ePrints, Social Text.
