I used to exclusively use Perl for CGI, but I've found that PHP is much more useful for that application. (IMHO -- don't bother flaming me about this; I've been on both sides of the fence, and I'm not coming back)
This deeply saddened me, because Perl is such a strong, useful language... so now, I've been forcing myself to use Perl in many other ways, and I've been reaping the benefits. For example, I've written a few applications that write PHP for me. (and in turn, the PHP writes SQL, HTML, JavaScript... and more PHP... yes, a couple of my coding engines write recursively)
Whenever I need a number of files edited, I use Perl. In short, whenever I need anything that would normally take more time than thought, I use Perl to reverse the thought:time ratio.

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).
