We have these questions:

(2.) Can Perl be used to create web-applications like Amazon or Ebay? What is the HTTP and Application servers we can use then?
(3.) Can Perl be used to create desktop applications, like can using Java swing?
(4.) Can Perl be used to create a message broker applications, a FTP file transfer application, an e-mail sending and receiving application, or an ESB application?
